Send to NASS for proper legislation,the most important part of this is abolition of contract staffing it is the modern day slavery openly practiced kudos FGN

NextGovernor:

Just name someone that will replace PMB.Had it been GEJ with PHD runs the affairs of this country the way the Nigerians want who will ever think of PMB with is age to rule this country. Nigerians it is GEJ we will blame. Take a look at German Chancellor Angela Merkel she is there since all this years because she is a good leader with a great vision which GEJ lack. With one voice youths will take over but money will never let their voice be united.

i need my paternity leave too. i need time to bond with my baby.

Women are more favoured in this dumb world.. Yet they still cry for equality..

The Federal Government of Nigeria has increased maternity leave from three to four months, the government also barred employers from sacking married women.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, made this known at the ongoing International Labour Conference (ILC), in Geneva, Switzerland, yesterday. He said;

“Employers of labour (in Nigeria) are, by regulation, requested to provide workplace crèches for nursing mothers for ease at work place. In the public service, government recently increased the period for maternity leave from 12 to 16 weeks; to allow enough recuperation for both baby and mother, especially in the area of breast feeding.

“In addition, all disciplinary proceedings against any female staff, which might have been taken during the period of her maternity leave shall be put in abeyance till the expiration of the leave.

“Employers of labour are also barred from removal of women from work due to their marital or maternity status, illegal labour migration, contract staffing and labour casualisation which affects most women, are being reformed through policies and regulations at national, bilateral and multilateral levels.”

“The ratification, domestication and implementation of the Maternity Protection Convention No. 186 are conscious efforts to ensure that more women enjoy maternity protection in the country…”


The Minister also said that a lot needed to “be done in terms of putting in place appropriate legislation, policies and practices to deal with the gender gaps that inhibit greater participation of women in the labour force.”

He added that the most effective method of eliminating gender inequality from the workplace lies in vigorous opposition to employers’ discriminatory conducts, policies and harassment in all forms wherever and whenever they occur.

To address gender inequality and youth unemployment in Nigeria, Ngige told delegates that the federal government drew up and has been implementing an Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP).

Men are always on the receiving end,why don't they give atleast one month paternity leave to show us some love

MrBigiman:
Female workers are taking advantage of this. Imagine a staff pregnant every year, to the past 3 years and asking for full salary during the absence.

shut up u have nothing to say

Labake1 it's time you go on maternity leave. Please report at ze oza room

missrock:


lol some women are even complaining that three much is too much for them because where they work is where they get money

These are civil servants.

I get your point now.
You are absolutely right.
Maybe some women will want to carry their baby back to work after 2 months sha!

thundafire:
shut up u have nothing to say

Shut up! everyone has the right to express his opinion. U don't have a business or workers, so u can't relate. Get a job first.

I LOVE MY PRESIDENT.

mind you, not everybody will work with federal government o

hmm

NGIGE IS A FOOL. NA DIS KAIN MATA HE GO DE SMART. OUR PAYOFF THAT WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR SINCE OVER 2 YEARS HE COULD NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE WHEN BROUGHT BEFORE HIM. OUR EMPLOYER TOOK ALL OUR MONEY AND BOUGHT AN OIL SERVICING FIRM IN THE U.S, COULD NOT PAY US SALARY AGAIN AND DIDN'T REMIT PENSION, NHIS AND INCOME TAXES TO THE GOVERNMENT DESPITE DEDUCTING FROM OUR SALARIES FOR OVER 4 YEARS. ALL THESE CASES WERE BROUGHT BY PENGASSAN BEFORE THIS USELESS NGIGE, BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL CULTISTS (I AM SURE HE IS IN THESAME CULT WITH OUR BOSS), NGIGE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CALL HIM TO ORDER. WE WERE LAID OFF AND HE PROMISED TO PAY BACKLOG OF SALARY AND REMIT PENSION ETC + OUR GRATUITY, UP TILL TODAY NO KOBO. THANK GOD I HAVE A FAR BETTER INTERNATIONAL JOB NOW AND I AM WRITING FROM WORK RIGHT NOW(OUTSIDE NAIJA), BUT NOT ALL OF US HAVE JOBS, MANY ARE SERIOUSLY SUFFERING DESPITE HAVING MILLIONS IN ONE IDIOT AND USELESS SATANIC FORMER BOSS'S HAND. NIGERIA DOES NOT HAVE LEADERS WHO CARE FOR THE PEOPLE. THEY ARE JUST USING NIGERIANS TO ACQUIRE MORE WEALTH FOR THEMSELVES, WE DON'T HAVE A GOVERNMENT. IN SANER CLIMES, THE MAN SHOULD BE IN JAIL FOR DEFAULTING TAX AND FAILING TO REMIT DEDUCTED PENSION OF WORKERS ALONE, BUT NOT IN NIGERIA. SHAME, IT SHALL NEVER BE WELL WITH THE OFFSPRING OF WICKED POLITICIANS..

I surprise oo because I have enjoyed it twice since 2013.

okomile:
Whatever.
Come and see women in govt offices, the moment they get pregnant, no more working. They will come and sit down. Send messengers food and Tom tom
I am an example years ago

My sis, I can definitely relate to this

I will become a woman.

MrBigiman:

Most private coys have a rule of 2 - 3 years gap before another pregnancy.

Haba..... Maternity leave has always been 4 solid months now.....
It is enshrined in the Public Service Rules and extant circulars....
And all these precede May 29 ,2015.....
The new 4 month maternity leave protocol became effective on or bout 2013....

[quote author=Ellabae post=68222906] Leave to do what exactly?[/quote
