The Federal Government has launched Phase II of the International Labour Organisation Social Dimension of Ecological Transition Project, reaffirming its commitment to ensuring that Nigeria’s transition to a low-carbon economy creates decent jobs, protects workers and promotes inclusive economic growth.
The project, funded by the French Government through the ILO’s technical cooperation programme, was launched on Thursday at the UN House in Abuja, bringing together government officials, employers, workers’ organisations, development partners and climate experts to strengthen Nigeria’s just transition agenda from 2025 to 2029.
Speaking at the launch, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Muhammad Dingyadi, said the renewed partnership presents an opportunity to move beyond policy commitments to practical implementation.
