Nigeria: Journalists’ strike continues Wed. December 13, 2006 09:31 am. - Hajarah Kizza (SomaliNet) Nigeria’s government owned media is still facing problems after its employees decided to stop working last week. Nigeria’s government owned media comprises Radio Nigeria, Voice of Nigeria, Nigerian Television Authority and News Agency of Nigeria. The journalists desire payment of the allowances that were promised by Nigeria’s government but have not been received for the past three years. Nigeria’s government promised to pay its staff housing and transport allowances three years ago. However, to date, the journalists have not received a penny. Some of the employees took the strike a little bit too far when they destroyed machinery belonging to radio Nigeria. Nigeria’s Information Ministry confirms that there were delays in the payment of the journalists since the allowances were approved a year ago.
