Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Nigeria (Ratification: 1960)

Article 2, paragraph 2, of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that efforts are still being made to reconsider this issue. Once again, the Committee recalls that it is necessary to take measures to protect homeworkers, who are presently excluded from coverage of the Labour Decree. The Committee hopes that measures will be taken in the near future and that the Government will communicate information on this point in its next report.

Article 5. The Committee notes the Government's statement that the process of amending the legislation is yet to be completed. The Committee recalls that this Article provides that wages must be paid directly to the worker. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to indicate in its next report that the Labour Decree has been amended to bring the legislation into conformity with the Convention.
