Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2001, publiée 90ème session CIT (2002)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It is therefore bound to repeat its previous observation:

Referring to comments made for a number of years, the Committee had requested the Government to indicate measures taken to give effect to 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 should 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 hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
