Nigeria made promises, but poverty, greed & weak enforcement persist.

At an ILO workshop, officials pledged safer jobs, fairer laws & stronger protections. But the real test? Turning conventions into everyday rights workers can feel.

Do unions cause unemployment?
Sometimes higher wages & rigid rules can slow hiring. But evidence is mixed and often, structural failures like corruption, power crises & austerity matter far more.
Balance, not blame.
