By Victor Ahiuma-Young

ABUJA — The Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund, NSITF, has raised fresh concerns over the state of workplaces in the country, declaring that Nigerian workers have become one of the most vulnerable groups in society due to increasing occupational risks and inadequate workplace protection measures.

Managing Director of NSITF, Oluwaseun Faleye, made the declaration during a panel session at the just-concluded International Civil Service Conference in Abuja, where stakeholders discussed “Inclusive public services for women, youths, persons with disabilities and vulnerable groups.”
