It said the move would ensure more efficient and speedy resolution of industrial disputes between employers and employees.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige, said this when he received Federal Arbitrators from the IAP during a courtesy visit in Abuja.
Ngige said this in a statement signed by a Deputy Director in the ministry Charles Akpan.
The minister, who commended the arbitrators for discharging their duties happily and creditably, disclosed that the proposed commission would operate with its own bureaucracy.
He recalled that the IAP, which came into existence 40 years ago, gave birth to the National Industrial Court of Nigeria NICN.
According to him, it is because of the IAP that the Federal Government decided that there should be a gradation of the labour law to establish the National Industrial Court of Nigeria.
