NUJ sets to paralyse LASG businesses over non-inclusion in Oracle Database

By allcitynews.ng

When Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) and workees under the payroll of Lagos State Government decided to embark on strike over non-inclusion in Oracle Database, they are apparently walking into fulfillment of the popular saying that a ‘stich in time saves nine’.

Hence, the leadership of the Lagos State Council of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) urged its members in and outside the state to be part of the planned industrial action, scheduled to commence on Monday, January 13, 2025.

The industrial action, became imperative following the refusal of the Lagos State Government to integrate workers into Oracle’s database.

The letter addressed to the General Manager, Lagos Television (LTV) title, “Support for Industrial Action”, jointly signed by the Chairman of the Council, Comrade Adeleye Ajayi and Secretary, Comrade Tunde Olalere, pointed out that the action is in pursuit of better welfare package for members working at government-owned media houses in the state.

“Together, we seek to safeguard the future of Lagos Television, Radio Lagos/Eko FM, and Lagos Traffic Radio.”

Moreover the Letter said, “the proposed integration into the Oracle database must guarantee our job security. We urge all members to join us in this crucial fight”.

Furthermore, the Union explained that several notices, like the 7-day ultimatum given to government to avoid industrial disharmony did not yield expected results.
.

“We hereby throw our weight behind our members in your organization and other state-owned media houses in support of the strike, scheduled to commence on Monday, January 13, 2025″.

It also noted that “the NUJ is fully aware of several discussions, congresses and notices given the state government on the need for state-owned media houses’ workers to be integrated into the Oracle database”.

It would be recalled that an initial 10-day ultimatum was issued and another 21-day ultimatum given to the state government, but to no avail.

“It is also very imperative that our members working in your establishment should equally enjoy the new minimum wage like other workers of the state”, the letter further read in part.

“The Union also noted that the revenue presently being generated by state-owned media organisations could no longer sustain the payment of workers’ salaries and benefits”.

“There is, therefore, the urgent need for the state government to come to the rescue of the state-owned media organizations for survival.
