The Maternity Protection Convention C183 adopted in 2000 by the International Labour Organization, ILO, requires 14 weeks of Maternity Leave as a minimum condition. In Lagos State, a man to whom a new baby (or babies in the case of multiple births) is born is now entitled to two weeks (10 working days) paternity leave at the time of the spouse’s first two deliveries.
