The likelihood of appealing against the decision of a court of first instance is no doubt an acceptable culture in every judicial system. In fact, it is implicit in every adjudicatory process that a court cannot mostly be a court of first approach as well as that of last resort. Right of appeal of litigants constitutes a fundamental element of a fair judicial practice and plays a significant role in the Nigerian justice system. The right provides avenue for the Appellate Courts to function in correcting legal and factual errors; encouraging the development and refinement of legal principles; increasing uniformity and standardization in the application of legal rules and promoting respect for the rule of law. In criminal cases, the right plays an additional role in guarding against wrongful conviction of the innocent. This paper attempts to analyze the provision of the amended Nigeria Constitution in respect of the right of appeal of an aggrieved person against the decision of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria as well as contrasting judicial reaction thereon. A case was eventually made for a liberal and all-inclusive interpretation of the provision of the Constitution to avoid a restriction on a litigant's right to appeal to the Nigerian Court of Appeal from the decision of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2021 in the subject Sociology - Economy and Industry, University of Ibadan (Faculty of the Social Sciences), language: English, abstract: The paper through critical analysis of available literature, and analysis of data from secondary sources such as official publications, journals, and conference papers aims to examine the Nigerian industrial relations system for its contending issues and challenges. The complex employment interrelationship between the Nigerian government, labour unions, organizations’ management, and employers' associations has been a rocky one. The goal of the interrelations which is to facilitate economic growth and assist all parties to achieve their objectives is menaced by incessant conflicts and a high level of strike propensity. It was found that certain contradicting issues and challenges are apparent in the regulatory framework and administering bodies thus leading to ineffectiveness and inefficiency. Challenges such as insincerity of involved parties, tailoring of the system towards western models, and other political and economic factors are also inhibiting the system.
