Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has called for justice and fair treatment for all workers as Nigeria joins the rest of the world to commemorate the Decent Work Day.

NLC President, Joe Ajaero, made this call in a statement Tuesday, stressing that the rights and welfare of workers must never be compromised.

Ajaero said the annual commemoration of the Decent Work Day offers an opportunity to demand an end to “exploitation and impunity in workplaces” across the country.

According to him, decent work is a fundamental condition for national progress.

“The rights and welfare of workers must not be compromised; we must end all forms of exploitation and impunity in our workplaces,” he said.

The labour leader urged both the government and private employers to uphold the four pillars of decent work — job creation, social protection, rights at work, and social dialogue.

He further explained that the principles of decent work are being undermined by some government agencies and private organisations and warned that such actions were sabotaging industrialisation and economic diversification.

“No nation can achieve true development while repressing workers’ rights and promoting inequality,” he said.
