FIWON makes Presentation at the National Productivity Summit
FIWON participated in the National Productivity Summit of the National Productivity Center, held in Abuja May 24 & 25, 2022. The FIWON General Secretary, Com Gbenga Komolafe made a presentation titled ‘Boosting Productivity in the Informal Economy, Prospects and Possibilities’. He made the point that ‘one of the defining features of the informal economy is low productivity. Employing over 85% of the active working population and contributing 65% to the GDP, the Nigerian economy cannot realize its development potentials without serious investment in upskilling, financial intermediation through cooperatives, occupational health and training, clustering and organized access to public spaces for informal workers to work without harassment as well as careful investment in social protection for informal workers…’
