”For the sake of our national interest, security and industrial harmony, labour should not be one of the items that should be devolved to the states,” he said. Information Guide Nigeria
According to THE WILL, explaining how it came to be on the Exclusive list, Wabba noted that the nation-states legislation on Labour was driven substantially by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions, protocols and recommendations and other instruments domesticated through the Acts of parliament. jamb results
He added that this explained the near uniformity of labour laws across the nations of the world and relative global industrial order, harmony and an attraction for foreign investment.
Wabba said this was in realisation of the reality that 17 days after independence in 1960 under a democratic government Nigeria fell in line by rectifying and domesticated ILO Conventions 87 and 98, guarantying the right to organise and collectively bargain.
The NLC president further said the reasons for Nigeria’s relative industrial growth and development, and evolution into an investor’s haven were partly attributed to its willingness to subject itself to this global order and corpus of international labour standards.
