Government Owned Broadcasting Stations In Lagos Advised Against Embarking On Industrial Action

Following the strike notice served by Labour unions in the broadcasting stations of the Lagos State Government, Union members have been advised to rethink their plan to proceed on planned action for an amicable resolution of the dispute.

This is contained in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Establishments and Training, Afolabi Ayantayo.

The proposed strike, which is planned to start on Monday, January 13, 2025, is to press home the demand of NUJ and RATTAWU – that the Government should migrate their members to the mainstream civil service.

The statement clarifies that entry into the Lagos State Civil Service has laid down policies and procedures.

“For the avoidance of doubt, entry into the Lagos State Civil Service has laid down policies and procedures”

A consideration of the request was initiated through a meeting between representatives of the Government, led by the Honourable Commissioner for Establishments and Training, and the leadership of the Unions on January 8, 2025.

The meeting rose with a resolution that the agitation of the Unions would be presented to the Lagos State Executive Council.
