LABOUR LAW MADE EASY
A Practical Guide to Understanding Nigerian Labour and Employment Law
Labour Law Made Easy is a practical and accessible textbook designed to make Nigerian labour and employment law easier to understand for students, professionals, employers, employees, human resource practitioners and other readers who need a working knowledge of employment law.
The book responds to a common challenge: labour law is important to virtually every organisation and worker, yet many legal texts present the subject in highly technical language that can be difficult for beginners and non-law professionals. Labour Law Made Easy addresses this gap by explaining complex legal principles in clear, straightforward language while maintaining academic depth and professional relevance.
The book takes readers through the major areas of Nigerian labour law, beginning with the development and sources of labour law and progressing through contracts of employment, employees' rights and duties, statutory employment, disciplinary procedures, termination, redundancy, workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, confidentiality, recruitment and onboarding, trade unions, strikes, collective bargaining, casualisation, industrial disputes, alternative dispute resolution and the National Industrial Court of Nigeria.
Its strongest feature is its case-based and practical approach. Rather than simply stating legal rules, the book examines judicial decisions through the facts of each case, issues for determination, arguments of the parties, decisions of the courts and ratio decidendi. This enables readers to see not only what the law says, but how courts apply legal principles to real disputes.
The text also brings together legislation, constitutional provisions, judicial precedents, collective agreements, service rules, international labour standards and other sources relevant to Nigerian employment relations. A glossary, index, tables of cases and statutes, references and other learning aids further enhance its usefulness as a study and reference text.
