Abstract
The main thrust of this long essay is On Challenges And Probationary Employment In Nigeria. The study is purely a secondary data analysis with the use of internet sources, government publications, journal article and related scholars materials. Hence, this paper critically takes a look at the concept of probationary employment in the light of employees’ quest for security of employment in Nigeria. It argues that probation is a period used to ascertain the suitability or otherwise of an employee but employers have used it to enslave workers. The paper discusses the philosophical basis, procedure for determination of probationary employment and implication of promotion on probationary employment. The remedies available to a dismissed probationer are also highlighted. The legal status of a probationer and the suitable length of time of probationary employment are also discussed. An analysis of case law shows that there is no procedure for termination of probationary employment. The paper recommends that the labour Act be amended to peck the period of probation in Nigeria and define its incidences.
