NIGERIA: CONFLICT RESOLUTION IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS FOR LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY & NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

On the 17th of September, 2014, I delivered a lecture to participants in the Senior Executive Course 36 of the National Institute for Policy & Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru. The lecture title's "Nigeria: Conflict resolution in industrial relations for labour productivity & national development".

The main thrust of the paper is that conflict is inevitable in any organization. The way we manage conflict could damage or consolidate industrial relations (IRS). The current content of conflict resolution (CR) strategies in the labour sector that fuels strikes, lockouts and trade disputes is interrogated with a view to evolving alternative and/or complimentary methods of achieving industrial harmony (IH).

The contention here is that the extant strategies for the enhancement of industrial peace should be improved upon for sustainable government-management-worker relations in Nigeria. It is suggested that resort to the Industrial Arbitration Panel (IAP), should be a last resort.

Mediation, a tool of CR, and other appropriate methods should be employed to prevent the escalation of conflicts which impede labour productivity (LP) and by extension, national development (ND). The author prescribes specific adjustments and paradigm shift for government, employers and workers to achieve IH for ND via greater efficiency of the workforce.

The recommendations for the enhancement of LP in organizations, which could eventually translate to growth and development are as follows:

1) The financial sector should be more responsive to the needs of the real sector for investment. The labour sector should be more flexible.

2) Government must fund business-related research and provide greater direct support for innovation.

3) The intellectual property environment, including copyright and patents, should be strengthened to  encourage private initiatives.

4) The government's current effort to improve the macro-economic environment and re-orientate its budgetary allocation to favour social and economic infrastructure should be stepped up.

5) There is an urgent need to address the observed technological weaknesses in Nigeria with a view to infusing more research and development (R&D) activity. There is need to improve the country's capacity to absorb technological innovation.

6) The existing institutional linkages need to be strengthened across business firms, technology departments of Universities/Polytechnics and government research laboratories.

7) In the event of any organizational conflict, the personalities involved in Union activities should not be attacked either by management or government.

8) Management should give room for bargaining, rather than using coercion, for example, sign-up register. Many of those who sign back do so under duress.

9) There should be adequate communication among Union members so they have a common front before engaging management and/or government.

10) At no time should trade unionism be banned or prohibited by either management or government.

11) Rigidity should be eliminated during negotiations between workers/unions and management/government. Such negotiations should be "open".

12) I n the event of any industrial conflict, all in-house mechanisms for resolution should be explored in tandem with mediation and other forms of CR. The IAP should be the last resort.

13) Employers and employees should agree to disagree.

14) Mechanisms should be put in place for the detection of early warning signs (EWS) of conflict. Prevention is always better than cure.

15) There is need to strengthen and utilize existing labour relations mechanisms to facilitate continuous interface between government, workers and management so that differences are narrowed and frustrations re-channeled.

16) The Ministry of Labour & Productivity (MLP) should put in place alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms.

17) The use social dialogue needs to be intensified in the management of disputes.

18) The Planning, Research & Statistics (PRS) department of the MLP should be alive to its responsibilities by engaging in periodic surveys to determine consumer price indices and level of inflation. This would enable the MLP advise government as regards wages accordingly.

19) Government should always respect and implement agreements reached with workers' unions to forestall unpalatable face-off with the Unions.

20) Conspicuous consumption on the part of political office holders (POHs) and some public officers, fuelled by corruption should be curtailed. It is usually a sore point for workers.

21) Jumbo salaries paid to POHs, which is perceived to be disproportionate to the amount of "work' done by each and everyone of them, should be re-examined. This could be a source of industrial conflict.

22) Clear and unambiguous criteria should be formulated and regularly updated by the MLP for the assessment of the level of productivity of all public officers.

23) A worker's level of productivity, rather than "seniority" in the civil service should be the major criterion for determining eligibility for promotion.

The foregoing are some of the recommendations that could engender increased productivity in an atmosphere of industrial harmony. ADR skills are the engine oil of the industrial harmony machine. Without peace in IRS within organizations, IH would remain an illusion which could hamper LP and consequently national development.

THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE ANTI-ECONOMIC & FINANCIAL CRIMES CRUSADE (AEFCC)

On the 11th of August, 2014, under the auspices of the Economic & Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja, I presented a paper titled "Women in the anti-economic & financial crimes crusade". The main thrust of the paper was that women as caregivers and the hands that rock the cradle, have a major role to play in the fight against corruption in Nigeria.

Some clarification is necessary at the outset. Both men and women could be corrupt, but the incidence seems to be less among the latter according to a survey of the crimes prosecuted by the EFCC since inception. According to Dr, David Tukura, a Director in EFCC, who represented the Chairman of the Commission at the event, about ninety percent of the crimes are committed by men, while women account for about five percent.

Women are the mistresses, wives, daughters, aunts, friends, etc of majority of the men who commit these crimes. They therefore could have considerable influence on their behavioural pattern. For instance, a man who commits a white collar crime has his wife as the last person he sees every night. Instead of asking the husband to provide a car or new house or clothes beyond his means, she could begin to discuss legitimate multiple streams of income which could put the family in good stead. That way, the family would still be able to afford some of the good things of life without getting involved in crime.

Besides, the mother is always the first teacher for any child - both male and female. The mother should inculcate in the children very early that a good name is better than silver and gold. The role of women is envisaged as mainly proactive, preventing crime by counseling loved ones at the level of the family, clan, village, workplace, etc..

It is envisaged that when corruption is reduced through the effort of  women, then the "dividends of democracy would reach the populace, who have hitherto been deprived of same. A new generation of Nigerians nurtured by upright women may indeed be born. When citizens have basic amenities like education, housing, food, water, etc, we could be on the path of inclusiveness which may translate to sustainable peace...

ALL-POLITICAL PARTIES SUMMIT FOR INTER-PARTY COLLABORATION, NATIONAL STABILITY & DEMOCRATIC CONSOLIDATION

On June 12, 2014, an All-Political Parties Summit was held in Abuja with the theme: Inter-Party Collaboration, National Stability & Democratic Consolidation. I was invited as a lead discussant at the event. President Goodluck Jonathan declared the Summit open.

It was indeed a commendable initiative of the Federal Government of Nigeria, jointly convened by the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) to the President and the Office of the Special Adviser to the President on Inter-Party Affairs. The choice of the day, June 12, is instructive because it was on that day in 1993 that an election rated as being free and fair was annulled.

The aim of the Summit was to energize inter-Party collaboration with a view to deepening democracy in Nigeria. I was a discussant at the event. Five papers were presented viz;

*Political Parties, Social Stability, National Security & Democratic Consolidation: The Nigerian Experience
*Inter-Party Collaboration, Positive Political Space & Reduction of Electoral Violence: Principles, Practices & Prospects
*Leading by Example: Political Parties, Patriotic Values, Good Governance & the Notion of Loyal Opposition
*Overheating the System: Political Conflicts & Media Reporting
*Code of Conduct as a Political Norm: Formulating Political Parties-led Action Plan for Free, Fair, Transparent, Credible & Violence-free 2015 General Elections

The Chairman of INEC, Prof. Attaghiru Jega gave the keynote address, where he emphasized the fact that Political Parties are at the heart of the democratic process. They should therefore balance the paradox of competition among themselves to win elections and the critical role of maintaining system equilibrium.

In all, the speakers, discussants and participants agreed that:

*All Political Parties should support the Federal Government in the fight against terrorism.
*The Nigerian project is bigger than any Political Party.
*The collaboration between the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should be "solidified" by funding both bodies, especially IPAC adequately.
*Inter-Party collaboration is crucial for democracy and Internal Party Democracy (IPD) is an essential element.
*The Code of Conduct (CoC) signed by the Political Parties should be adhered to at all times.
*Conflict reporting should be professionally undertaken so that the polity is not un-necessarily heated. Reporters should be adequately trained in the art of conflict reporting.
*Politicians should moderate their utterances.
*"Political nomadism/promiscuity", where politicians elected on the platform of one Political Party defect to other Parties without losing their seats leaves much to be desired.

#BRINGBACKOURGIRLS (BBOG), BOKO HARAM (BH) & THE NIGERIAN STATE

33 days ago, precisely the 14th of April, 2014, more than 200 girls were abducted from their boarding school in Chibok, north-east Nigeria. Some of the girls managed to escape, but many are believed to have been transported across the border to neighboring countries. Earlier that day, the Nyanya bomb blast in Abuja killed more than 70 people, while dozens were severely injured!

The international community has come out in unison to condemn the abductions and offer support for Nigeria. But what really brought the plight of the girls into the limelight were various genres of social media, especially "Twitter". The hashtag #BringBackOurGirls originated from Nigeria, and within a week, it went viral, having an average of 1.5 million tweets per day at its peak!

Mrs. Michel Obama, first lady of the United States, endorsed the campaign effectively by displaying the #BBOG on a board she held in a photograph which has been viewed the world over. Other celebrities have since spread the campaign to other parts of the world. Amnesty International has said that Nigeria's security forces failed to act on advance warnings about BH's armed raid on the state-run boarding school in Chibok, which led to the abduction of 273? girls.

The BH terror group has been tormenting the Nigerian state for at least five years. The "base" of BH is the north-east, especially Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states. There has been a State of Emergency (SoE) in these states, which expired a few days ago. The President wants the SoE extended. The House of Representatives has endorsed the President's position. A few days later, the Senate also endorsed the extension of the SoE, but with some conditions attached.

Meanwhile, the parents of the girls have identified at least 70 of their children in a video released by BH. There has been a lot of wailing in the land. The feeling of insecurity is palpable. A lot of information about #BBOG, BH and the effect on the Nigerian state and her citizens are scattered. I envisage this to be a rather long post where I present to my audience the "disperse" information in one post. I shall continue to update the references as events unfold. The dates indicated show when the information was retrieved. Happy reading!
