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.

God will see us through
