Background of the Study
Workers' rights are fundamental to economic justice, social welfare, and human dignity, forming a crucial component of labor laws and constitutional protections (Adebayo & Yakubu, 2024). Constitutional law provides the legal foundation for fair wages, non-discrimination, safe working conditions, and collective bargaining (Usman & Ibrahim, 2024). In Nigeria, the 1999 Constitution (as amended) guarantees workers' rights, trade union activities, and protection from unfair labor practices (Olawale & Ahmed, 2023). However, in practice, many workers, particularly in informal sectors, face violations such as exploitation, unsafe work conditions, unpaid wages, and lack of job security (Abdullahi & Musa, 2024).
In Birnin Kebbi Local Government Area, Kebbi State, workers in agriculture, trade, and public services often experience violations of their labor rights, job insecurity, and lack of social protections (Bello & Yusuf, 2024). Weak enforcement mechanisms, legal loopholes, and bureaucratic inefficiencies have contributed to the exploitation of workers, wage disparities, and inadequate labor protection policies (Adamu & Bello, 2024). This study examines the effectiveness of constitutional law in safeguarding workers' rights and identifies policy gaps and enforcement challenges in Birnin Kebbi LGA.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite constitutional protections for workers' rights, enforcement remains weak and inconsistent, leading to widespread labor abuses and economic inequalities (Adebayo & Yakubu, 2024). Workers in Birnin Kebbi LGA face challenges such as wage theft, workplace discrimination, and lack of social security protections, reflecting gaps in legal implementation and regulatory oversight (Abdullahi & Musa, 2024). This study investigates how constitutional law is enforced to protect workers' rights and identifies barriers to effective labor protection in Birnin Kebbi LGA.
