Media workers in Lagos State-owned organisations have commenced a three-day warning strike to demand the implementation of the minimum wage and their inclusion in the state’s Oracle salary payment database.

The strike, led by members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) and the Radio, Television, Theatre and Arts Workers’ Union (RATTAWU), involves staff from Lagos Television, Radio Lagos/Eko FM, and Lagos Traffic Radio.

Protesters carried placards with messages such as “Minimum wage, a must! Our sweat is drying up” and “Give us Oracle and take the revenue generated” while singing solidarity songs.

NUJ Lagos Chairman, Adeleye Ajayi, criticised the state government for ignoring multiple ultimatums and urged the inclusion of media workers in the Oracle database, similar to the Federal Civil Service’s IPPIS system.

He also demanded the full implementation of the ₦85,000 minimum wage for media workers.

RATTAWU Chairman, Ishola Adejumo, stressed that basing staff salaries on Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) was unsustainable.

He warned that failure to meet their demands after the warning strike would lead to an indefinite strike.
