Speaking at the ongoing 113th Session of the International Labour Conference (ILC) in Geneva, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi, reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to fostering social justice and equitable development under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership.
Responding to the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Director-General’s report titled “Jobs, Rights and Growth: Reinforcing the Connection”, Dingyadi stated that Nigeria fully supports the ILO’s global drive for inclusive growth, decent employment, and social justice.
“Nigeria aligns with the ILO’s vision for a just transition and recognises that sustainable development must be built on inclusive economic growth, sound labour standards, and resilient democratic institutions,” he said.
He explained that President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda serves as Nigeria’s strategic roadmap for national renewal, emphasizing goals that mirror the ILO’s priorities. These include job creation, inclusive development, food security, poverty eradication, access to finance, economic expansion, and anti-corruption efforts.
“These national objectives are geared toward creating a more just and equitable society while also laying the foundation for deeper global integration,” Dingyadi added.
The minister also announced that Nigeria has formally joined the ILO’s Global Coalition for Social Justice—an international initiative aimed at reducing inequalities and fostering fairness in the world of work. He described the move as a bold step toward achieving a more equitable society for all Nigerians.
Highlighting some of the country’s recent achievements, Dingyadi noted the approval of a new National Minimum Wage in July 2024, reached through collective bargaining—a key example of Nigeria’s dedication to social dialogue. He also pointed out that the National Employment Policy had been revised to promote decent work across all sectors of the economy.
In his closing remarks, the minister called for greater global cooperation in tackling critical challenges such as inequality, climate change, technological disruption, insecurity, and governance gaps, stressing that joint international efforts are essential for building a fairer and more stable world.
