Nigeria launched the third edition of its National Policy and Action Plan to accelerate the elimination of child labour, focusing on implementation, strengthening labour administration, and addressing root causes like poverty and education gaps. The initiative emphasises multi-sector coordination, including government, private sector, and civil society, with support from international partners like the Netherlands and the ILO.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for rising compliance demands as Nigeria moves from policy to action on child labour, especially in supply chains like cocoa and gold. This opens doors for firms that help ensure responsible sourcing and protect vulnerable workers.
