The Federal Government says it is planning to convert the Industrial Arbitration Panel, IAP, into a commission to give it more power in its operations in the country.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige disclosed this while receiving the management team of the Industrial Arbitration Panel in his office in Abuja.
Ngige said that the establishment of the commission would enable the panel address most of the challenges being faced in the discharge of its responsibilities
The Minister said that the establishment of the commission would enable the panel to give its judgment without fear or favour and without discrimination.
Ngige also noted that the ministry was also working on the outdated IAP rules guiding the establishment of the panel.
Earlier, Chairman of the panel, Dunama Azura, said that the panel has been operating with outdated guidelines and rules guiding dispute resolutions.
Azura appealed to the minister to prevail on the government to convert the panel to a commission as being practiced globally.
