Direct Request on submission to competent authorities (CEACR) - adopted 2023, published 112nd ILC session (2024)

Nigeria

Submission. The Committee notes with concern that the Government has once again provided no response to its previous comments. It recalls once more that the constitutional obligation of submission is of the highest importance and is a fundamental element of the standards system of the ILO. The Committee therefore once again reiterates its request that the Government provide information on the submission to the National Assembly of the nine instruments adopted by the Conference at its 96th, 99th, 101st, 103rd, 106th and 108th Sessions. The Committee trusts that the Government will provide the information requested without further delay.

The Committee once again recalls that the Government may request the technical assistance of the Office, if it so wishes, to assist it in achieving compliance with its obligations under article 19 of the Constitution with respect to the submission to the competent authorities of the instruments adopted by the Conference.

Consultation. The Committee notes with interest the ratification by Nigeria of the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health, 2006 (No. 187), and the Violence and Harassment Convention, 2019 (No. 190), on 8 November 2022. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the tripartite consultations held prior to the ratifications, as required by the Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144).
