The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, William Nwankwo Alo, has called for synergy between government and the private sector in promoting Labour-friendly policies.
Alo made the call in Abuja when the Director General of Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA), Timothy Olawale, and his entourage paid him a courtesy visit in his office.
While describing NECA as a critical and dependable partner in maintaining industrial harmony in Nigeria, he urged them not to relent on their good work of joining hands with the government to move the country forward.
He also appreciated the Association’s outstanding performance in providing the platform for private sector employers to interact with the government.
Speaking further, the Permanent Secretary pledged government’s continued support to NECA, explaining that Muhamadu Buhari’s led-administration places high premium on the private sector, and as well appreciates its support.
He further expressed optimism that both government and NECA would continue to have a robust relationship, which would bring peace and tranquillity in the work environment.
Earlier, the Director General, Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association, Timothy Olawale, said the association under his leadership will not relent on its commitment to partner with government to deepen the nation’s industrial relations system, and ensure industrial harmony.
