Workers Of defunct New Nigerian Newspapers have cried out to Chairman, Northern Governors Forum, Simon Lalong, to pay staff of the company their accumulated salaries and other benefits.
A statement jointly signed by executive members of in-house unions of the company, Friday Idoko, Funmi Aderinto, Usman Nasidi and Emmanuel Bello, on behalf of hundreds of workers, decried the slow pace of a process, which, they said, was initiated in 2017 to sell assets of the company to pay off salary arrears and benefits of staff members, many of whom had died awaiting their unpaid wages of over 100 months.
The statement commended efforts of the Northern governors for ensuring payment of the company’s pensioners, who had worked under the Federal Government. “The joint union comprising members of Nigeria Union of Journalists and National Union of Printing, Publishing and Paper Products Union Workers , New Nigerian Chapel, expressed worries over workers’ plights due to non-payment of salaries for many years, which has resulted to depression and deaths of over 103 staff members.
