Geneva –\u00a0 Nigeria will build on a solid political foundation to ensure economic recovery and youth employment, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Labour and Productivity, Mr Anthony Ozodinobi, said.<\/p>\n

Ozodinobi, who is the leader of the Nigerian delegation to the 100th International Labour Conference (ILC) in Geneva on Friday, made the statement while presenting Nigeria\u2019s report.<\/p>\n

He said the Federal Government would work based on transparency, accountability and citizen support to achieve set goals.<\/p>\n

The official said President Goodluck Jonathan, had expressed commitment to the implementation of the core international labour agreements, which Nigeria ratified, to achieve decent work for the citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria has embarked on several programmes targeted at employment generation, social justice and equity, national growth and development.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmongst such programmes are the establishment of a National Sovereign Wealth Fund (NSWF) to ensure national savings and investment for future generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also unbundling the power sector through reforms that would galvanise all sectors of the economy to generate wealth and massive employment opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cOthers include reforms and investments in the Agricultural sector which will ensure availability of food and generation of sustainable and decent work employment for rural dwellers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ozodinobi explained that the completion of the ongoing reforms in the banking and financial sector were aimed at ensuring growth and development of the real productive sector.<\/p>\n

He said that a reformation of the country\u2019s social security system introduced by the government was as a result of the recurrent discussion on the issue in the ILC.<\/p>\n

He said the reform would provide minimum social protection for all citizens.<\/p>\n

Ozodinobi said that the enactment of the Employers Compensation Act 2010 and the Freedom of Information Act 2011 were aimed at protecting citizens\u2019 rights through transparency and accountability in governance.<\/p>\n

He said that the amendments and passage of the National Minimum Wage Act and reform of Personal Income Tax were aimed at improving workers\u2019 welfare.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe endorse the statement that the ILO values are more important than ever in finding a lasting solution to the global economic and financial crisis, especially in the employment front.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also agree with the conclusion that policies should strengthen productive investments, the financial system should service the real economy and there should be inclusiveness in the operation of the labour market,\u2019\u2019 he said. (NAN)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
