Bill To Compel Companies To Hire ‘indigenes’ Passed By Akwa Ibom Assembly by Blue3k(m): 3:26pm On Jun 09, 2018 |
The Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly has passed a bill which will ensure that companies doing business in the state hire at least 10 per cent of their senior workers and 70 per cent of junior workers from among the indigenes of the state.

The law will be effective if the state government gives contract preference to companies who hire residents and will assist companies in skills development. The state should just invest more in education and skills training. I dont see the point in having percentage quota since companies would normally hire qualified talent in area. It also states that compliance shall be a major criterion for contract award and issuance of license and permit by the state government. They shouldnt go over board the state already has high unemployment. The law could backfire if they are punative about it resulting in less investment in state. (Tribal/indigene quotas are not a good idea) 11 Likes |

I like it. Onofiok Luke good one. If FG did like that the Chinese may have a little bit more respect for Nigerians they hire. In UK to hire a foreigner, you have to get a permit from government and proof that you can't find anyone within the country that possess that skills to do that job. The should also be a National database for all the unemployed with access to their CV's so employers can easily checkup for these people and government can provide jobs more easily to Nigerians. 36 Likes 2 Shares |

I don't like this kind of law. It;s tantamount to just dividing the country, so that everyone can rest. Instead of this, why not compel companies to to employ people who have lived in the state for at least 2 years because these people are also contributing to the state through taxes. 32 Likes 3 Shares |

can state legislate on such labour issues as to who to employ? I think this is a fg issue and there is law on it already just lack of effectiveness, state should not pass such law, it's negative effect is higher than the positive, both for state and fg, rather, I would suggest it to be a state policy to award contracts to company's with significant number of indigenes(70% or any % they so wish) and also through some levy/tax relief, not imposing fines on such company. 3 Likes |
Re: Bill To Compel Companies To Hire ‘indigenes’ Passed By Akwa Ibom Assembly by Blue3k(m): 5:08pm On Jun 09, 2018 |
OlujobaSamuel: Yeah theres already a law on books for it on federal level. The caveat being they don't have to hire nigerians if they don't meet skills requirement. They are giving preference to companies with higher amount of resident talent. Afam4eva: Yeah they should just tweak it to say residents. If not its not much different from preferential quota and leaves everyone else at disadvantage because they were born into wrong tribe. If every state starts passing these sort of laws its going to be messy. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Apologies, but this bill if signed will be a nonsensical one. Most folks in the state, I've to say, lack simple work ethic! As simple as it's, it's lacking. Last I checked, businesses don't employ based on sentiments (except ailing businesses. Which is why there are ailing). The bill is ridiculous! 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Wrong and useless move Anang people will now have enough reason to finish Ibibio people. It is not the responsibility of any private entity to train individuals from a locality because the want to employ them. This law will be counterproductive. Once again useless law. 8 Likes |

Proudlyngwa: It would chase potential investors away. In Nigeria, indigenous expert are only seen under the microscope of broadly researched HR talk less of a search within the local confines of little known Akwa Ibom. Wrong move, I re-echo. 1 Like 1 Share |
