The Chairman/CEO Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has highlighted the critical importance of implementing a Labour Mobility Law in Nigeria.
This is following the death of Ms. Ladi Anzaki Olubunmi, a Nigerian and TikTok content moderator, employed by Teleperformance, the social media’s contracting firm in Kenya.
According to her, such legislation would establish frameworks to protect the rights and well-being of Nigerians employed abroad, ensuring proper documentation, monitoring, and support systems.
In addition, Dabiri-Erewa stated that the creation of such law aims to prevent situations where Nigerian citizens face challenges related to employment conditions, mental health support, and the ability to return home when necessary. The Chairman, NiDCOM extends heartfelt condolences to Ms. Olubunmi’s family, friends and colleagues.
NiDCOM spokesperson, Gabriel Odu, disclosed on Thursday that Dabiri-Erewa also called for thorough investigation by Kenyan authorities to determine the circumstances surrounding Olubunmi’s untimely passing,
