 The International Labour Organization, ILO, concluded the 111th International Labour Congress, ILC, with the adoption of a new apprenticeship standard among other key decisions. The ILC closed with the adoption of a new recommendation on quality apprenticeships, while delegates also passed resolutions on a just transition and labour protection among other issues. According to ILO, the new labour standard aims to support opportunities for people of all ages to skill, reskill and upskill continuously and rapidly changing labour markets. I am delighted and honoured to assume the leadership on behalf of the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as the next Chairperson of the ILO governing body for the 2023-2024 session. We appreciate the thoughtfulness in nominating and confirming Nigeria. Our agenda in future meetings should take on broad challenges such as these to confront and shape global discourse as a matter of urgency. Our policy outcomes and decisions should inspire hope for a better quality of life and new opportunities. We are ready to deliver when the mandate entrusted to us, prepared to serve. There was absolute great endorsement of the Global Coalition for Social Justice, which is an important initiative of the Director-General, Mr Jilbe Ombo, and in the essence of the Global Commission on Social Justice is to make sure that issues related to social development, social justice are at the same level or receive the same level of attention as economic issues and environmental issues.
