Nigerians At Work

Children’s Day reminds us that every child deserves protection, education, and dignity — not exploitation through labour.

Globally, the core legal instruments are the ILO Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138), which requires states to pursue the effective abolition of child labour and set a minimum age for employment, and the ILO Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182), which prohibits slavery-like practices, trafficking, forced labour, prostitution, po*******hy, and hazardous work for children.

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, especially Article 32, also protects children from economic exploitation and from work likely to harm their health, education, or development.

On Children’s Day, the message is clear: children belong in schools and safe spaces, not in harmful labour.

The ILO reports that 35% of workers worldwide work more than 48 hours a week. Long hours may increase output in the short term, but they can also affect health, rest, family life, and overall wellbeing.

Do you agree this reflects the reality of work in Nigeria?

*Workplace Wednesday*

Yesterday, 28 April, we marked the World Day for Safety and Health at Work.

It reminds us that workplace safety is not limited to physical accidents. It also includes protecting workers from stress, bullying, burnout, intimidation, and other psychosocial risks.

As the world of work continues to evolve, Nigerian workplaces must pay closer attention to both physical safety and mental wellbeing. A healthy worker is vital to a healthy and productive workplace.

Let us keep promoting safer, healthier, and more dignified workplaces for all.
