The Federal Government says it will work to ensure that there are no job losses or mass sack in Nigeria due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige, said this on Thursday, in his May Day message signed by his spokesman, Emmanuel Nzomiwu.
Ngige assured that the government would look at the four-pillar plan of policy responses to the pandemic laid out by the International Labour Organisation (ILO).

The minister disclosed that all relevant factors to the nation’s workforce would be identified, analysed and solidified to ensure job retention.

He stated that the government would not encourage employers to disengage any member of their staff without the prerequisite social dialogue and clearance from the ministry.

Ngige commended workers in the health sector for being in the frontline of ensuring that the raging pandemic was contained.

“Over the years, May 1 has been a unique day in the world of work. It is a day dedicated to workers as partners in socio-economic development of nations,” he said.

“The COVID-19 outbreak has affected modes of work and the utilisation of teleworking is on the increase. As you work from home, I urge you to do your best in that regard and to endeavour to demarcate your personal life from work,” he said.

Ngige said that the Federal Government was not unmindful of the fact that businesses in both the private and public sectors had suffered.

“Sustainability of the enterprise has become a subject of concern. The worries precipitated by the COVID-19 crisis are further compounded by worries of maintaining a source of livelihood.”, he add

Ok

So for us working with the federal government are safe

I was wondering where this sudden surge of empathy from a normally apathetic government came from.

Then I remembered that today is Workers' Day.

Come out with something reasonable

You people have been fully exposed during this Coronavirus period.

So the billions both state and FG have been budgeting for health sector na scam..

Less than 500 ventilators in the whole 36 states when NY alone has 11k plus.

Lots of things are wrong with both the leaders and the masses.

Imagine how many pending job Lost..

the painful truth is that if those private companies/establishment decides to lay off their workers, fg no go do anything. mind you over one million teachers in private schools accross the country are yet to resume work

Access Bank have already begin the cut down.Many companies & organisations can not even break even.God save Nigeria.

Wait, why should the banks be donating money to government when they know they can't sustain their staffs?

This government will use anything to oppress the poor

I'm not tribalistic in reality. Three of my closest friends are igbos.., two from work one is my neighbor. I'm just here for revenge

U think Access donating 1 billion was the reason behind this??

Didn't u see this pandemic shut down world economies. Even Boeing is doing same.

Believe anything the Government said at your own perils, its really a hard time, waking up to negative news everyday. The kind of recession that will hit Nigeria and some African countries, post coronavirus is best Imagined. Ghana saw the danger and quickly suspend the lockdown, Ivory Coast refused to go on total lockdown. whether you like it or not Hunger Virus is the mother of all virus and have been killing people here more than corona virus

Quota system employee feeling fly!

Everybody shud braceup The world Economic is in bad shape and every body will b greatly be affected
the sign are all already glaring with top company laying off their staff
Nigeria wound'nt be difference, there will massive job loss
Prepare for impact!!

Like someone already mentioned the Fed Gov't won't do shit if private companies decide to downsize their staff. They're just saying this to cover face so it doesn't look like they weren't concerned.

Yenefer:
even if the person is working with CBN, NNPC or FIRS

Cintaku na you be that on your profile?

Any bank staff suppose to be praying against job lost now....because bankers staffs and other private sector might reduce staffs

Yes ma'am and they are likely to start from the tribal bigots on Nairaland.

common I'm not a tribal bigot

Oransaye Report implementation is an indirect mass sack, many don't understand that.

Foolish minister and ministries

Some companies I know have not paid tax in 5 years in this same Nigeria talkless of pension contribution for its staff, yet they are winning big time FG contracts every year because they are connected to Aso-Rock!

What do they want to ensure, fulish man, have u brought any company to book for not paying tax or remitting staff’s pension?

So all this while he is not aware that many companies has started issuing letter of termination to their staffs.
Na wa for this government.

Prepare for the worst while praying for the best...
