FG Charges Employers
FG Charges Employers on Ethics of Work
Conditions
The Federal Government has charged employers of labour to
provide decent conditions for their employees, devoid of
exploitation and other negative conditions.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, made the
call in Abuja today when he received in audience the executives of
Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) led by
Comrade Osakpamwan Eriyo.
He charged the Association to tailor their employment conditions
on the provisions of the Decent Work Agenda of International Labour
Organisation (ILO).
“Try to provide decent work because the ILO agenda now is Agenda
for Decent Work”, he said.
The Minister encouraged the Association to do a proper
documentation of its employees by creating a data base, adding that
it would simplify their recruitment process, as well as assist
Government in managing security in the country.
Acknowledging the support of the Association, Dr. Ngige stated
that Government had put in place a lot of infrastructure,
especially a good network of roads, across the country to boost the
activities of the transport sector.
Speaking earlier, the National President of Road Transport
Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), Comrade Osakpamwan Eriyo,
pledged the continued support of the Association to Government.
Comrade Osakpamwan Eriyo, represented by the Deputy National
President (Admin), Alhaji Musa Mohammed, noted that RTEAN had
experienced a greater level of peace, unity and progress under the
present administration.
