Entrenching Industrial Democracy Law In Nigeria Lessons From Germany, Ovunda V. C. Okene Phd Jan 2006

Entrenching Industrial Democracy Law In Nigeria Lessons From Germany, Ovunda V. C. Okene Phd

Dr. O. V. C. OKene

This paper considers the compelling need to introduce industrial democracy law in Nigeria.

Curbing State Interference In Workers' Freedom Of Association In Nigeria", O. V. C. Okene Jan 2006

Curbing State Interference In Workers' Freedom Of Association In Nigeria", O. V. C. Okene

Dr. O. V. C. OKene

From the time that trade unions first emerged in Nigeria, they have suffered crude treatment and abuse from the government. The abuses were particularly grave during several years of military rule. Although Nigeria has returned to democratic governance, the abridgment of trade union rights continues. This article argues that through such behavior, the government of Nigeria infringes workers' freedom of association under international law – which does not augur well for the nation's future as a liberal democracy.
