COVID-19 Lockdown: NUJ Commends Lagos On Palliatives
“Seeks assistance for Media from Government, Corporate Organisations
*By Udeme Clement:
As the total lockdown against the spread of dreaded Corona virus pandemic continues in Lagos being the epicenter , the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Lagos State Council has commended the efforts of the Lagos State government on its initiatives for palliatives.
In the same vein the union appreciated the health care facilities put in place by government in combating the pandemic.
The Union however noted that media organisations were neglected in the palliatives, as some members are being owed salaries up to 64 months and the least is five months in the prints and electronic media.
Most disturbing , are retirees in Radiolagos/ Eko Fm and Lagos Television, LTV who are equally not paid their entitlements.
The Council appealed to Federal and Lagos State Governments, as well as Corporate Organisations to make contingency arrangements to its members in this critical period of lockdown.
This contained in a press statement by the Chairman, Dr. Qasim Akinreti and the Secretary, Comrade Alfred Odifa, after visits to Media houses in the State tomprovide food, water and sanitizers to members on duty.
The union saluted the courage and professionalism of colleagues on the frontlines of COVID-19. The newsrooms at any given day can never be empty, the continuity announcers, newscasters are alway available in the studios to give update information on COVID-19.
“We are worried and concerned for our members at this trying period, the union has engaged and appealed to the Lagos State Government and Media owners for assistance, as some of our members are indigent and those who retired are not paid yet”.
The NUJ noted that, most media organisations are running out of the essential materials needed to guard against COVID -19 in the work place.
While the union has contributed its meager resources towards the welfare of its members at this critical period , we are soliciting for assistance from governments and well-meaning Nigerians’.
