Millions of Nigerian Workers Face Growing Social Security Risks, NSITF Warns

Nigeria’s Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) warned that artificial intelligence, automation, digital platforms and the gig economy could leave millions of workers without adequate social protection. At a Labour Writers’ Association of Nigeria workshop in Lagos, NSITF Managing Director Oluwaseun Faleye called for protection gaps to be closed and employer compliance strengthened. He urged the government, employers, organised labour, social security institutions and the media to work together to protect workers in non-traditional employment arrangements.
