FEC Approves Amendment Of ‘Obsolete’ Labour Laws To Align With International Standards

The federal executive council (FEC) has approved the amendment of the country’s labour laws to meet the standard of the International Labour Organisation (ILO).

Chris Ngige, minister for labour and employment, said the council, presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, granted its approval to the amendment on Wednesday.

The minister, while speaking with journalists after the weekly meeting, described Nigeria’s current labour laws as “obsolete” and not in tandem with international standards.

He said the proposed amendment would include the “occupational safety and health bill,” and “labour institutional bill” that would establish the industrial arbitration panel (IAP) into a commission, among others.
