On the occasion of today’s Workers Day celebration worldwide, Journalists For Christ congratulates journalists and other media workers for the work they are doing in their various organizations, institutions and agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We acknowledge the challenges journalists have to cope with due to economic and other factors that have affected conditions of service and led to the loss of jobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We call on media owners in Nigeria to improve the working conditions of their staff and provide necessary facilities to ease the job they have to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workers retained should be adequately renumerated, while those retrenched should be paid their entitlements promptly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation where the staff of media organizations are not paid for months and are expected to still perform optimally is not realistic and should not continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We implore media owners and managements to explore and adopt new business models and use new technologies to enhance their production for sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray that God will continue to grant both workers and owners the wisdom needed to sustain their operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
