ABSTRACT

Unfair dismissal of employees under the Nigerian contract of employment and the security of the tenure of employment has become a major concern in employment relationships. This academic piece will focus on the nature of a statutory contract of employment in Nigeria, the statutory protection for employees in contracts with statutory flavour, the novel concept of constructive dismissal of employees, the international labour standards regulating termination of employment, the position of the labour Act and the Remedies available to an unfairly dismissed employee. Data collection for this project was gotten from primary and secondary sources, the primary sources includes, the Nigerian Labour Act, case laws, International Conventions and Treaties relating to employment that have been ratified by Nigeria. The secondary sources includes journals, articles, online materials and textbooks. A study and appraisal of this data revealed that, unfair dismissal still largely obtains in Nigeria as seen in a plethora of decided cases herein discussed. It is further recommended that the International Labour Organization standards be adopted fully to give more protection to the employee.
