Welcome to the Michael Imoudu National Institute for Labour Studies (MINILS) Web Site. MINILS was established vide Act Cap 261 of the Law of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1990 as the only tripartite Institution in the West African Sub-Region responsible for providing workers’ education. In pursuit of its principal function of enhancing the role of Trade Unions in the social and economic development of Nigeria, MINILS has trained over 17,000 workers in both the private and the public sector of the economy.

We have been providing Consultancy Services to both Government and Private Institutions in the areas of Labour Policies and Industrial Relations Practices.
We undertake, organize and facilitate study courses, conferences, lectures, seminars and research through collaboration with Universities and Institutes concerned with Socio-Economic issues; with a view to strengthening tripartite relationship and social dialogue in the workplace.

Our faculty is made up of highly competent & experienced members of staff. We also have a rich Library, stocked with good publications on Industrial Relations and Labour Matters.

Our Campus has a Computer Laboratory equipped with a direct V-Sat connection to the backbone of the Internet, which would aid our pioneering the Blackboard method of distance learning in Nigeria, for our soon-to-commence Diploma Programme in Labour and Industrial Relations.

I invite you to personally learn why our greatest asset is anchored on providing qualitative and responsive labour education not only for Nigerian workers but the entire West African sub-region.

Best Wishes.
