Members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists have commenced a
three-day picketing of the Champion Newspaper over non-payment of over twelve
months salary arrears.
The placard carrying members led by the Lagos
State Council Chairman of the union, DEJI ELUMOYE blocked the entrance of the
newspaper house at Ilasa along Oshodi-Apapa expressway.
ELUMOYE accused the management of the organisation
of not being sincere with the staff, adding that what the union particular
about is the payment of the outstanding arrears of salaries and other
entitlements.
For their parts, the Zonal Secretary of the union,
Gbenga Lawal and the chairman of the champion branch, Ikechi Elenwoke said the
workers have suffered serious economic hardship over the last one year, adding
that many others have died within the period.
