Justice Benedict Kanyip, President of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN), has called on legal practitioners to equip themselves with a firm grounding in labour law principles.
He made the appeal at the Gabriel Adikwu & Co. Annual Lecture, held in honour of retired Supreme Court Justice Paul Adamu Galumje (JSC Rtd).
While the full remarks were not made public, the NICN shared the update via its official Twitter (X) handle yesterday.
📌 “Legal practitioners must be properly equipped with the principles of labour law,” the post quoted Justice Kanyip as saying.
Why It Matters
As labour-related disputes grow more complex in Nigeria’s evolving workplace environment, the demand for lawyers with specialised expertise in employment law is more critical than ever. Mastery of labour law principles not only improves advocacy but also strengthens the administration of justice in industrial relations.
