This document summarizes discussions at an invitational workshop on labor development in Nigeria. The discussion centered on the need to promote an individual work ethic and to improve the quality of life of the average worker. The following broad topics were discussed: (1) the negative effect of colonialism on individual productivity and the lack of effective labor leadership since independence; (2) the cultural and technological barriers to improving productivity; (3) the need to establish a national minimum wage that would permit workers to live above the poverty line; (4) employer-employee relations; (5) the role of government as both an employer and a labor developer; (6) the need to improve the safety and health conditions and to promote an individual work ethic by developing full employment; (7) the inclusion in planning of the handicapped, unpaid workers, nonunionized workers, children, women, workers in small businesses, and the unemployed; (8) the role of the Nigrian Labor Congress in national politics; and (9) the need to promote certain traditional values, such as respect for learning, that encourage productivity and to discourage other traditions, such as inattention to punctuality and time management, that are incompatible with an industrial society. A list of participants, the text of the introductory address, and a description of the Africa Leadership Forum are appended. (FMW)
