The International Labour Organisation has given Nigeria until September 2026 to report on steps taken to address concerns over workers’ rights, trade union freedoms, and compliance with international labour standards.
As reported by Nairametrics, the development was disclosed by the Secretary-General of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, Nuhu Toro, during a briefing on the 113th International Labour Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, on Friday.
According to Toro, the deadline follows complaints regarding alleged violations of workers’ rights, particularly issues relating to freedom of association, collective bargaining, and the implementation of key labour conventions ratified by Nigeria.
He said the ILO had requested Nigeria to provide updates on measures taken to address concerns raised by workers’ organisations over compliance with international labour standards.
