NPC seeks collaboration with NLC to create over 5 million jobs

The National Productivity Centre, NPC, is advocating for more partnership with organised labour in Nigeria to generate more than 5 million jobs.

Director General of the Centre, Baffa Dan-Agundi, said this at a media parley with the Labour Correspondents Association of Nigeria, LACAN, in collaboration with the International Labour Organisation on the scorecard of its social partners in the last one year.

In the last one year, government’s decision to let go of subsidy on petroleum products, and the quest by labour for a living wage have defined the relationship between the authorities and representatives of Nigerian workers.

This was the talking point at the media engagement put together by labour correspondents in the nation’s capital.
