摘要：The Nigerian employment relations’is a process enmeshed in controversy and corporate-stakeholder conflict since its history.The recurring decimal in this situation is that stakeholder representation or ensuring that relevant voices–employees’voices–are represented for corporate governance is far from reality.Attendant upon this,both unionised workers (labour unions) and non-unionised workers (employee relations) in Nigeria are saddled with arresting power with corporate establishment in order to deepen the voice of relevant stakeholders that is melting like candle before scorching corporate selfinterest.In ensuring that workers achieve their objectives,at least procedurally,this paper contends that new media can be used to actualise this much desired objective for better corporate governance,accountability and corporate-stakeholder relations as well as to widen the discursive space for relevant stakeholders’representation.This is because new media democratises debate as well as corporate governance dialogue as it affords everyone the platform to engage without restriction,which is an enabling platform that traditional media cordons off.This paper approaches this contention from the perspective of reviewing literature on the phenomena of employee relations in Nigeria,non-unionised workers representation,corporate governance,new media and accountability,which resonates with conceptually articulating a realisation of this intention from literature reviewed for better corporate governance in Nigeria.
