The Federal Government has charged employers to provide decent conditions for their employees.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, made the call in Abuja when he received the executives of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) led by Comrade Osakpamwan Eriyo.

He charged the association to tailor its employment conditions on the provisions of the Decent Work Agenda of International Labour Organisation (ILO).

“Try to provide decent work because the ILO agenda now is Agenda for Decent Work,” he said.

The minister urged the group to do a proper documentation of its employees by creating a database, adding that it would simplify their recruitment, as well as assist the government in managing security.

Acknowledging the support of the association, Ngige stated that the government had put in place a lot of infrastructure, especially a good network of roads, across the country to boost the transport sector.

RTEAN National President  Eriyo pledged the association’s support to the government.

Eriyo, represented by the Deputy National President, Alhaji Musa Mohammed, noted that group had experienced peace, unity and progress under the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
