FG approves National Industrial Relations Policy.
The Federal Government has approved the National Industrial Relations Policy (NIRP) to promote stable labor relations and reduce industrial disputes nationwide.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, who announced this after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting chaired by President Bola Tinubu, explained that the NIRP aims to guide trade unions, employers, and government agencies in promoting structured dialogue and aligning Nigeria's labor practices with international standards.
Idris stated that the policy seeks to ensure smooth workplace operations, strengthen tripartite cooperation, and bring Nigeria's practices in line with global benchmarks, particularly those of the International Labour Organization (ILO).
The policy is expected to promote more predictable, peaceful, and structured labor relations across sectors, boost productivity, and strengthen investor confidence in Nigeria's labor environment, to serve as a reference point for labor laws, union engagement, and conflict resolution in both public and private sectors.
