He added: “Nigeria is not a breeding ground for slaves. Nigerian workers are not slaves to be subjected to horrendous conditions and exploited. Employers of labour should not cash in on the vulnerability of unemployed Nigerians desperate for employment.”Keyamo stated that under the proposed Review of Labour Laws, government would put in place laws that guard against employers subjecting employees to inhumane treatments that take away their safety and dignity.
