President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reiterated his administration’s commitment to promoting fair labour practices and protecting the rights and dignity of workers across Nigeria. Speaking through the Minister of Labour and Employment, Maigari Dingyadi, at the inaugural quadrennial delegates’ conference of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), Tinubu emphasized the importance of strengthening existing labour laws and eliminating worker exploitation.
Tinubu noted that “although technology has the power to transform industries, create new opportunities and drive economic growth, it poses risks—automation, job displacement and widening inequalities.”
