Article 4, paragraph 3, of the Convention. In comments made for a number of years, the Committee has requested the Government to take measures giving effect to the above-mentioned provision of the Convention, under which the employer shall make available to the workers' representatives, at their request, lists of the persons who are employed on work underground and who are less than two years older than the minimum age specified by the Government (i.e. persons under 18 years in Nigeria). The lists shall contain the dates of birth of such persons and the dates at which they were employed or worked underground in the undertaking for the first time. The Committee notes from the information contained in the last report that no progress has been made in this respect. It again expresses the hope that the Government will take the necessary measures in the near future.
