Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention, 1925 (No. 19) - Nigeria (Ratification: 1960)

The Committee notes that the report of the Government does not contain information requested in its previous direct request. It therefore once again asks the Government to specify the scope, in practice, of section 2(2)(b) of the Workmen's Compensation Decree No. 17 of 12 June 1987 which excludes any workman employed in the public service of the Federation who has been first engaged in a place outside Nigeria and is not a Nigerian citizen; please also indicate the number of workers engaged under these conditions. It also again requests the Government to indicate under which industrial accidents compensation scheme these workers are covered.
