Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1990, Publicación: 77ª reunión CIT (1990)

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government, and in particular a brief statement in the report according to which the tripartite National Labour Advisory Council has been reconstituted and is currently busy with the review of all the labour legislation of Nigeria. The Committee would be grateful if in its next report the Government would indicate whether the representatives of employers and workers on this Council are appointed in equal numbers after consultation with representative organisations of employers and workers. Please describe in more detail the functions of the Council and indicate whether it is consulted with regard to the policy, organisation and operation of the employment service.

Article 10. The Committee notes from the Government's report that various employment exhanges are underutilised and that most employers do not make use of the employment exchanges. It hopes that the Government will make continuous efforts, in co-operation with employers' and workers' organisations, in order to encourage full use of employment service facilities by employers and workers on a voluntary basis, in accordance with this Article. Useful examples of measures which could be taken are given by the Employment Service Recommendation, 1948 (No. 83), Paragraph 22(2). The Committee asks the Government to provide in its next report information on any progress made in this connection.
