Nigeria to Report Labor Rights Measures to ILO in Geneva
Nigeria will report on its labor rights measures to the International Labour Organization (ILO) at the 114th session of the International Labour Conference in Geneva, Switzerland. Nuhu Toro, the General Secretary of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), expressed support for this initiative, describing it as an opportunity for Nigeria to demonstrate its commitment to improving worker welfare and compliance with international labor standards.
The report will address concerns raised by worker organizations regarding compliance with Convention 87, which pertains to freedom of association, and Convention 98, which focuses on the right to collective bargaining. Additionally, Toro noted that the TUC has introduced policies aimed at increasing women's participation in leadership positions within trade unions.
He highlighted that women currently occupy strategic leadership roles within the congress, including chairperson positions in Lagos State and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
