Life on the job in Nigeria can be tough. But, it becomes even harder for those who have the misfortune to sustain injuries in the workplace. Daniel Adoga used to operate a grinding machine in a plastic factory, something which cost him his right hand. "I was on night duty that day. We were putting rubber in the machine, and suddenly it caught my hand. Before I knew it, it had started cutting my hand. That was how it happened that day,” he recalls. Nigeria's government makes no provision for employees who become disabled on the job. Employers are expected to bear the cost of treating injured workers. As a result, many injured workers find themselves in dire straits.
