NGO to sue Nigerian government over labour laws

21/9/19 FG/PETITION ACCIDENT REPORT

A non governmental organisation , Centre for the Defence of Human Rights and Democracy in Africa, is planning to sue the Federal Government over the case of a 28 year old young-man who lost his right hand while working for an Indian Firm in Lagos and was denied compensation because he was a casual worker.

Speaking through its secretary, Professor Maurice Fangnon, the NGO blamed the ordeal of the youngman and numerous casual workers, on the country's labour laws which it said are not only weak, but also subjecting workers to poverty, intimation and exploitation by employers. #Labour Laws #Nigeria Labour laws #NLC #Mali Government
