President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday launched the Expatriate Employment Levy (EEL), a government-mandated contribution imposed on employers who employ expatriate workers in Nigeria.
According to the launched EEL handbook, the levy seeks to balance the benefits of expatriate employment with the protection of Nigeria’s local labour markets and resources.
“As imported workforce continues to grow internally, the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) deemed it important to implement the EEL that seeks to balance economic growth, social equity, and workforce development,” it said.
