The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Joe Ajaero yesterday demanded better pay, insurance cover and pension for journalists. Ajaero made the call when he visited the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) President Chris Isiguzo in Abuja.
He explained that while journalists played significant roles in the fight for independence and the current democracy Nigerians are enjoying, it is unfortunate the same people are begging for their salaries to be paid. The labour leader said that journalism is getting worse by the day, though technology has enhanced the practice.
