5.0 CONCLUSIONS
• The Ministry has moved ahead with the changing times
with world globalisation and its fall-outs by adopting new
Paradigm shift from traditional orientation to modern
developmental framework amenable to progress and
sustainability in the discharge of its mandate.
• Nigeria is currently facing the challenge of unemployment,
underemployment and social exclusion. More jobs need be
created or generated through increased IT penetration in
the states and local governments and development of
entrepreneurial culture to incite the country to tap the
largely untapped industrial potentials and global
opportunities. Nigeria’s socio-economic conditions in the
last two decades have been characterized by
unemployment crises and mass poverty.
114

CONCLUSIONS cont’d
• For the ministry to be able to effectively meet the current
challenges and implement ILO Decent Work Agenda there is a huge
need for building the capacity of labour administration through
elaboration and implementation of labour policies
• By 2020, Nigeria is expected to have a large, strong, diversified,
sustainable and competitive economy that effectively harnesses the
talents and energies of its people and responsibly exploits its
natural endowments to guarantee a high standard of living and
quality of life to its citizens.
• The ministry has a very crucial role to play in achieving this feat as it
has the mandate to facilitate and promote peaceful, productive and
harmonious industrial relations, safe and decent working
environment and enhanced social security coverage for all
Nigerians.
115

• In discharging its functions, the Ministry is backed
by legal frameworks already listed above.
• In applying the legal framework, a human face is
however adopted to enable effective
communication and information sharing which
are bedrock of Social dialogue with its Social
Partners
• The Social Partners, namely; NECA, NLC and TUC
have been an intrinsic part of the success in
achieving less Man-day loss in industrial actions
during the year under review.
116

• The Ministry has moved ahead with the changing times
with world globalisation and its fall-outs by adopting new
Paradigm shift from traditional orientation to modern
developmental framework amenable to progress and
sustainability in the discharge of its mandate
• New Departments have been put in place to enable the
achievement of Decent work and Social Justice in the
workplace as well as create/generate employment and
reduce the unemployment rate
• In terms of human capital development, more than 50,000
skilled persons were trained and given resettlement
packages to enable them establish their own business
• The Ministry in the years ahead is determined, with
necessary enabling factors, to attain its zenith within the
Transformation Agenda
