NUJ President Vows To Achieve Enhanced Media Salary Structure

The President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Chief Chris Isiguzo, says the union is determined more than ever to achieve a salary structure for media practitioners in the country.

 

To this end, Isiguzo assured that the NUJ would engage other stakeholders in the media industry to ensure that an enhanced salary package was achieved within the life of the 9th National Assembly.

 

The national president disclosed this on Tuesday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Enugu.

 

He said the union had fashioned out ways to interface with the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission; Nigerian Guild of Editors; and the Radio Television, Theatre and Arts Workers Union.

 

He said the prevailing circumstance where media workers were either paid meagre salaries or left without salaries every month end was unacceptable to the union.

 

Isiguzo said: “The issue of enhanced media salary is one of our major agenda.

 

“It is one of the foundational challenges facing the union and media practice in Nigeria.

 

“It is important that we engage other stakeholders like the NBC, NGE and RATTAWU to work out something better and take the request to the National Assembly.”

 

Isiguzo said the union along with the other stakeholders would commence the process as soon as the 9th National Assembly is inaugurated on June 11.

 

The NUJ president said the safety of journalists in the country was of utmost importance to the union.
