The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has given a waiver for employment in health, defence and paramilitary, to ensure that those who leave for greener pasture abroad are replaced.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, explained that the waiver was granted by the government despite the embargo on recruitment into public service.
Ngige disclosed this during the 2022 budget defence of his ministry at the House of Representatives on Wednesday in Abuja.
The minister said to address the incessant labour crises in the county, the government would introduce mandatory training for newly elected labour leaders at the National Institute of Labour Studies (NILS).
