The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has issued a compliance deadline of September 2026 to the Nigerian government. This follows ongoing concerns regarding workers’ rights, trade union freedoms, and adherence to international labour standards. The ILO is requesting a detailed report outlining steps taken to rectify these issues. The information was revealed by Nuhu Toro, Secretary-General of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, during a recent briefing. Specific details of the concerns prompting the deadline were not immediately available, but relate to established international labour principles. Failure to adequately address these concerns could lead to further action by the ILO. The Nigerian government has not yet publicly responded to the imposed deadline.
