TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT WITHOUT CAUSE OR REASON IN NIGERIA

No doubt, the Convention C158 – Termination of Employment Convention, 1982 (No. 158) and Recommendation 166 of International Labour Organization (ILO) are the current global parameters for determining international best practices in labour and employment matters. Notwithstanding their non-ratification or non-enactment by the National Assembly, the National Industrial Court has consistently relied on Section 254C(1)(f)(h) of the 1999 Constitution in invoking the  provisions of ILO and Employment Convention in determining labour and employment matters.
