The declaration was made during an advocacy visit by the NSITF managing director, Oluwaseun Faleye, in Abuja.

Tunji-Ojo emphasised that the Employees’ Compensation Act remains a critical legal framework designed to provide a social safety net for workers in both formal and informal sectors.

According to a statement by NSITF’s general manager, corporate affairs, Nwachukwu Godson, the minister, while highlighting the risks faced daily by officers across various agencies, assured that his ministry, which oversees the Federal Fire Service, Immigration Service, and Correctional Service, would ensure full compliance with the ECS.

“Our officers make immense sacrifices, risking their lives at borders and other critical areas to safeguard this country. It is imperative that they are guaranteed protection and compensation as stipulated by law,” the minister stated.

Faleye, in his remarks, stressed the ECS’s role as a vital tool in safeguarding workers and enhancing productivity.

He outlined its benefits, which include medical refunds for work-related injuries, compensation to families of deceased employees, and financial support to employers for productivity losses due to workplace incidents.
