Towards achieving equality in the Nigerian workplace: with a focus on women, persons living with disabilities and ethnic minorities
type: CreativeWork
description: Discrimination has long been a part of recruitment and employment generally. According to Painter and Puttick, discrimination is a well-established feature of employment. Despite this, the move towards the introduction of antidiscrimination legislation to combat this menace in the workplace is almost nonexistent in Nigeria. Though Nigeria has been independent for more than four decades, there has been no significant improvement in her labour laws. Different categories of people are still being discriminated against based on sex, gender, age, physical characteristics, disability and other analogous characteristics.
