CONCLUSIONS
• The Ministry has moved ahead with the changing times with world globalisation and its fall-outs by adopting new Paradigm shift from traditional orientation to modern developmental framework amenable to progress and sustainability in the discharge of its mandate. • Nigeria is currently facing the challenge of unemployment, underemployment and social exclusion. More jobs need be created or generated through increased IT penetration in the states and local governments and development of entrepreneurial culture to incite the country to tap the largely untapped industrial potentials and global opportunities. Nigeria’s socio-economic conditions in the last two decades have been characterized by unemployment crises and mass poverty. 114
CONCLUSIONS cont’d • For the ministry to be able to effectively meet the current challenges and implement ILO Decent Work Agenda there is a huge need for building the capacity of labour administration through elaboration and implementation of labour policies • By 2020, Nigeria is expected to have a large, strong, diversified, sustainable and competitive economy that effectively harnesses the talents and energies of its people and responsibly exploits its natural endowments to guarantee a high standard of living and quality of life to its citizens. • The ministry has a very crucial role to play in achieving this feat as it has the mandate to facilitate and promote peaceful, productive and harmonious industrial relations, safe and decent working environment and enhanced social security coverage for all Nigerians.
115
CONCLUSIONS cont’d • In discharging its functions, the Ministry is backed by legal frameworks already listed above. • In applying the legal framework, a human face is however adopted to enable effective communication and information sharing which are bedrock of Social dialogue with its Social Partners • The Social Partners, namely; NECA, NLC and TUC have been an intrinsic part of the success in achieving less Man-day loss in industrial actions during the year under review. 116
CONCLUSIONS cont’d • The Ministry has moved ahead with the changing times with world globalisation and its fall-outs by adopting new Paradigm shift from traditional orientation to modern developmental framework amenable to progress and sustainability in the discharge of its mandate • New Departments have been put in place to enable the achievement of Decent work and Social Justice in the workplace as well as create/generate employment and reduce the unemployment rate • In terms of human capital development, more than 50,000 skilled persons were trained and given resettlement packages to enable them establish their own business • The Ministry in the years ahead is determined, with necessary enabling factors, to attain its zenith within the Transformation Agenda 117
