What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has urged government to adopt a framework for programming towards attainment of decent work in order to ensure safe and decent work environments for employees.

Speaking during the opening of a weeklong training of the Labour Advisory Board (LAB), ILO National Programme Officer Jacqueline Banya said policy development and national dialogue would improve working relations between workers and employees.

“The LABs play a very pivotal role in shaping and guiding labor policies and practices. Your responsibilities include advising on the adoption and implementation of labour standards, ensuring fair labour practices and promoting social dialogue among, employers, government and workers,” she said in Wakiso District on Monday.

According to Banya, a decent work programme will soon be finalized and launched to guide governments on policy formulation.

“You're stepping into roles that are integral in promotion of fair and equitable labour practices in Uganda, by adhering to these conventions, you will ensure that your work aligns with the international labour standards, ultimately contributing to the wellbeing of modest and the overall development of this area,” she added.
