ABUJA—THE Federal Government Thursday promised to pay terminal benefits and gratuity to all staff of Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, including those on casuals.
It also pledged to wage war against casual/contract staff in the banking sector.
Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu, who disclosed this during the 2013 Ministerial Platform mid-term report of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, said the federal government frowned on casualisation in the country.
He described casualisation as a form of under-employment which employers of labour had cashed in on to exploit desperate youths desirous to get something doing.
Noting that the issue of casual and contract workers had existed for several years in the power and oil industry, Wogu stated that on assumption of office as a minister, he was confronted with lots of serious issues, including that of casual workers, which he promised to tackle headlong.
