Senate move to end Casual working for Graduates

The Prohibition of Casualisation Bill 2020 was sponsored by Senator, Ayo Akinyelure.

 

Akinyelure said casualisation of Nigerian graduates in the Nigerian labour market had become a subject of great concern.

 

He said more workers continued to groan under this immoral strategy of cutting cost by employers rendering them inferior to their counterpart in other countries of the world.

 

Akinyelure while citing the banking industry as a hub for casualisation, blamed banks for turning female marketers into sexual slaves in a desperate attempt by them to keep their jobs and meet unrealistic deposit targets.

 

The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, in his remark charged the Committee on Employment, Labour and Productivity to strike a balance in the bill to ensure that casual workers in the country were not made victims of layoffs.
