The Permanent Secretary Labour and Employment, Mr. William Alo
has called on Labour officers to serve as vanguards for Labour
justice by demonstrating professionalism, diligence, transparency
and honesty for effective service delivery in discharging their
duties.
He made the call today at a 2-day zonal sensitisation workshop
on Resolving Trade Disputes and Seeking Redress for Labour
Injustice, organised by the Ministry for Labour Officers, in
Maraba, Nasarawa State.
The Permanent Secretary, who was represented by the Director
Human Resource Management, Alhaji Ibrahim Ajibola said the essence
of the workshop is to articulate procedures for seeking redress on
issues of unfair Labour practices, adding that both workers and
employees need to understand their limitations in other not to
infringe on the rights of others in the course of their employment
relationships.
“As professionals in this area, the workshop shall equip you
with the skills required to identify levels and sources of Labour
injustice in the World of work. I am confident that the outcome of
the workshop will further ensure that industrial peace and harmony
is maintained in work places through strict observance and
adherence to the Rule of Law which guarantees equal rights before
the Law as well as the extant Labour legislations” he added.
Alo urged the participants to maximise the opportunity provided
by the workshop to equip themselves with the skills required for
better performance on the job.
Earlier, in her opening remarks, the Director Trade Union Services
and Industrial Relations (TUSIR), Mrs. Omoabie Akpan, welcomed
participants and note them that they were drawn from different
departments in the Ministry from grade levels 10- 17 because it is
expected that officers at their level should be able to handle
dispute resolutions when the need arises.
