Abstract:	In Nigeria today are four rival organisations: only two of them, the United Labour Congress (a rightist or moderate central movement) and the Nigerian Trade-Union Congress (a leftist, extremely militant, nationalistic trade-union central), have featured more prominently as aggressive rivals in the struggle over relations with the W.F.T.U. and the I.C.F.T.U. Of the remaining two, the Nigerian Worker's Council and the Labour Unity Front, only the N.W.C. has relations with the I.C.F.T.U. The relations of the Nigerian trade-union movement with non-African trade union organisations started in 1945 when a delegation of the Nigerian Central Trade-Union Movement attended the W.F.T.U. conferences in London and Paris. A brief history of the development of Nigerian trade-unionism and its relations outside Africa is given. Notes, French summary.
