FG Increases Maternity Leave To 4 Months by teddynaijaboy: 8:35am On Jun 06, 2018 |
The Federal Government of Nigeria has increased maternity leave from three to four months, the government also barred employers from sacking married women. Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, made this known at the ongoing International Labour Conference (ILC), in Geneva, Switzerland, yesterday. He said; “Employers of labour (in Nigeria) are, by regulation, requested to provide workplace crèches for nursing mothers for ease at work place. In the public service, government recently increased the period for maternity leave from 12 to 16 weeks; to allow enough recuperation for both baby and mother, especially in the area of breast feeding. “In addition, all disciplinary proceedings against any female staff, which might have been taken during the period of her maternity leave shall be put in abeyance till the expiration of the leave. “Employers of labour are also barred from removal of women from work due to their marital or maternity status, illegal labour migration, contract staffing and labour casualisation which affects most women, are being reformed through policies and regulations at national, bilateral and multilateral levels.” “The ratification, domestication and implementation of the Maternity Protection Convention No. 186 are conscious efforts to ensure that more women enjoy maternity protection in the country…” The Minister also said that a lot needed to “be done in terms of putting in place appropriate legislation, policies and practices to deal with the gender gaps that inhibit greater participation of women in the labour force.” He added that the most effective method of eliminating gender inequality from the workplace lies in vigorous opposition to employers’ discriminatory conducts, policies and harassment in all forms wherever and whenever they occur. To address gender inequality and youth unemployment in Nigeria, Ngige told delegates that the federal government drew up and has been implementing an Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP).

Female workers are taking advantage of this. Imagine a staff pregnant every year, to the past 3 years and asking for full salary during the absence. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Maternity women take this news with a pinch of salt. If u like spend 4 months instead of three. Your sack letter awaits u at the end. He announced it in faraway Switzerland nt in Nigeria. So it's not a law yet. Vote Buhari/PYO 2019. 3 Likes 1 Share |

And this statement was made in Switzerland? Why? Because it's not true! It is not a law. Just a speech. Random talk as usual. It will be denied when he get's back home. Has Ngige finished implementing the new minimum wage yet? Dubious government! |
