THE GUARDIAN

The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), on Tuesday, issued a disclaimer on the allegations that the enforcement of the three-day by workers of LTV, Radio Lagos/Eko FM, and Lagos Traffic Radio was violent, maintaining that it was peacefully enforced.

Lagos State Chairman of NUJ, Adeleye Ajayi, said this in a statement, refuting publication in a national daily.

“In the said publication, the Commissioner For Establishments and Training, Mr Afolabi Ayantayo, accused NLC, NUJ, and RATTAWU of preventing workers of LTV, Radio Lagos/Eko FM, and Lagos Traffic Radio from discharging their duties,” Ajayi said.

“To set the record straight, the State Executives of NLC, NUJ and RATTAWU, are aware that some of these employees who are our members were compelled to report to their duty posts by their management and threatened them not to take part in the ongoing strike.”
