The Osun State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) on Thursday, hailed Gov Ademola Adeleke for approving immediate appointment of freelance staff of Osun State Broadcasting Corporation.
Osun NUJ in a statement jointly signed by the Council Chairman, Comrades Wasiu Ajadosu and the Secretary, Adeyemi Aboderin described the gesture from the governor as highly commendable and first since the establishment of the broadcast conglomerate.
According to the union, NUJ members will forever be grateful to the Asiwaju of Edeland for the approval given for immediate employment of the freelancers into the State civil service.
Osun NUJ maintained that the gesture by Gov Adeleke will enhance productivity and increase work rate of staffers as well as raise the bar at the State owned media outlet.
The union also lauded the Governor for the purchase and commissioning of new radio equipment for Osun State Broadcasting Corporation, which is hoped at further enhancing the status of the corporation as the Regional Voice of the West.
It then tasked the newly engaged staff to reciprocate the gesture by continuing to support the government of the day in its quest to better the life of the people of the state.
New Nigerian recalls that Gov Adeleke while speaking on Wednesday at the commissioning of six digital radio transmitters and equipment purchased by the state government for the state owned media outlet directed immediate engagement of the freelance staff who have been working for the corporation for more than ten years without pay.
