NSITF ASSURES ON PROTECTION OF WORKERS’ INTEREST

Barely three weeks after the inauguration of a re-constituted board of Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund, NSITF, has the body commissioned a new corporate office at Maryland, Lagos.
The move, Labour Minister, Chief Emeka Wogu and chairman of the board, Mrs. Ngozi Olejeme said, was in line with the vision to ensure that Nigerian workers were compensated in the event of an accident.
The minister also officially presented a cheque of N557, 800 to some employees of Cappa and D’Alberto Plc, who were said to be accident victims at their place of work.
According to Wogu, the presentation “goes to show the commitment of government and NSITF to extend social protection coverage to all Nigerian workers, which is in line International Labour Organisation Philadelphia declaration, which states that all human beings irrespective of race, creed or sex, have the right to pursue both their material wellbeing and their spiritual development in conditions of freedom and dignity.’’
He added that government was also determined to comply with the specific provisions of Article 22, 23 and 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Right, UDHR, which upholds the right of everyone, as a member of the society, to right to work, and freedom of choice of employment.
Wogu reiterated that the commissioning was an eloquent testimony to the fact that government was committed to proactively prevent, intervene, reduce and monitor through competent statutory industrial relations, intelligence services of the inspectorate Department of the Ministry of Labour.
‘’I am optimistic that this gesture will be replaced in the state,’’ he added.
Speaking also, Mrs. Olejeme congratulated workers for having secured the Employers’ Compensation Scheme.
According to her, the scheme is a silent revolution that was carefully thought out and executed by government in order to ensure that the welfare of workers was given top priority in the scheme of things.
She lauded President Goodluck Jonathan for introducing the scheme, adding that he (president) did not waste time accenting to the ECS law soon after its passage by the National Assembly.
Olejeme reiterated that the event was a practical demonstration of ‘’our resolve to see to the immediate and effective implementation of the new ESC scheme. Lagos being the biggest industrial hub in the country means that a substantial part of activities of the fund will be concentrated here.’’
While thanking stakeholders, namely Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC; Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association, NECA, and Trade Union Congress, TUC, Olejeme assured that staff of the organisation would begin operations immediately to ameliorate the challenges of workplace accidents, incidents and injuries that have started manifesting and may likely continue from time to time.
In their respective addresses, NECA director-general, Mr. Olusegun Oshinowo, NLC president, Comrade Abdulwaheed Omar, TUC president general, Comrade Peter Esele, while applauding NSITF for the giant step taken, charged the board to go beyond rhetoric if it must win the confidence of the Nigerian workers.

Gud news,bt y is it taking time now?I pray dat our waitin will neva b in vain.Allah bamu sa'a dukanmu

My people, that is government job for you. We just have to keep the faith. Everything is tense now. Even at their head office, you ll see that something is about to happen. What my source told me is that i should relax and continue with what im doing now. But i dont know if anything can be done in the absence of head HR. Is it possible for the offer letters to be disbursed without her? Pls lets talk.

God bring it 2 pass as fast as possible so dat we can all rejoice.oh lord turn our names 2 ARK OF GOD so it can nt be tampered wit by politicians at dis last minutes we pray.@adah & zico any news frm ur side.

@galadee, where are u @ kaduna?

ppl, most of the posts and comments are emphasizing on ECS, like the speech of the the chairman mrs olejeme, she spoke about workers compensation only, how about other areas such as mass housing, micro credit financing, health management etc which they purported to venture into?

Pls can someone confirm this info i just got . The list has gone to the federal character commission. That hopefully 2wks more?!

well i tink dats a gud step if d List is der,
But i truly tink Fedreal Character has bin on d process since d Intavw,
I also tink it dsnt take 2wiks 4 dem 2 verify d list, cuz dey check dat quota system wrks, if dey are picking 5 per state, dey ensure dat works 4 d excercise,
We r der,
Cheers!

nawa,may God help us

Almighty God, this is another month end. When will this process be over? This untold suspense and delays are freaking me out. Today, the HR Personnel has travelled out of the country, tomorrow the list has been forwarded to Federal Xter Commission. Nobody has a grasp of what exactly we are up against. God is my refuge. We will get there. It is well.

@Jybz,5 per state?Is dat hw its gona b?

@ganethy, im 100% sure of my info. I wl never mislead this forum. The HEAD HR is out of the country,but the issue of federal character commission is what im not sure of. What we need to do at this level is to divert our attention to something else cos some have passed this road before. Even those with NNPC have been on it for the past two years and they never lose hope. Think about the number of people to be recruited and the packages attached. No one wl start the foundation without proper planning. Let me tell you this,there wl be disappointment no matter how. So lets get prepared and face the reality. But im sure, there wl be light at the end of the tunnel.

Will be there today hopefully, will get back to u guyz later

@Zico2, well said!! Look, I'm not trying to cast aspersions on the source of your information but am just trying to reiterate the fact the whole process is beclouded with uncertainties and no one is sure of what is going on and why the long delay. On the issue of Federal Character Commission, i think that stage should have been done with long ago. All what we should be expecting now are our offer letters except there is a contrary info. We will all get there. Amen.
