Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1994, Publicación: 81ª reunión CIT (1994)

Convenio sobre la inspección del trabajo, 1947 (núm. 81) - Nigeria (Ratificación : 1960)

Articles 16, 20 and 21 of the Convention. Further to its previous observations, the Committee notes from the Government's report that its comments will be taken into consideration in the preparation of subsequent reports. It also notes that an internal memorandum has been submitted by the Government but no decision has yet been taken regarding the establishment of a National Board of Labour Protection, one of the major recommendations of the ILO tripartite mission to evaluate the system of labour inspection in Nigeria that took place in 1991. Meanwhile, no annual labour inspection report has been sent since 1989. The Committee recalls the considerable importance attached to the 1991 mission and report, organized on the Government's invitation, and the need to take the necessary measures to implement its recommendations without delay. It hopes the Government will include in its next report full information on all measures taken or proposed in relation to the preparation and publication of an annual inspection report in accordance with the Convention, showing how far it is ensured that inspection visits take place as often and as thoroughly as necessary to achieve observance of labour legislation, and that it will also deal with other matters raised in a direct request.
