The International Labour Organisation's (ILO) list published on its website, confirms Nigeria's delegation as the largest among the 187 countries represented at the conference.

The Nigerian contingent is being led by Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, minister of state for labour and productivity.

Also on the list were Joe Ajaero, president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and Festus Osifo, president of the Trades Union Congress (TUC).
