Date: 2017-12-25

The National Coordinator of the Muslem Media Watch Group of Nigeria, Alhaji Abdullahi Ibrahim has called on the National Assembly to enact a law that will make it mandatory for all employers of media practitioners to pay salaries of their workers as at when due.

Similarly , he tasked the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to seal off any broadcast station that failed to meet up with its financial obligation to its workers without further delay.

Alhaji Abdullahi expressed these views in Ilorin, the KWARA State capital while featuring on a Radio Kwara personality interview programme Playing Host.

He lamented that some media houses are owing their workers over new year salary or more hence the need for a legislation to be put in place that would prevent such inhuman practices.

The quest commended the operators of social media in terms of information dissemination but however called for regulation of their activities while the government should track their operations to guide against abuses via modern technology .

Alhaji Abdullahi who is a Resource Practitioner and a Retired Director in the Kwara state public service, urged all tiers of government to embark on training and retraining of its workers to enhance productivity in the civil service.

He criticized a bill before the National Assembly that would regulate the activities of Non Governmental Organisations (NGO's) in the country stressing that the idea was not only undemocratic but also against the interest of the populace more so that NGO's register and paid their registration fees to the Corporate Affairs Commission .

Answering another question , Alhaji Abdullahi condemned the idea where a female Nigerian graduate of Law , Miss Abdulsalam Firdaous Amosa wearing hijab was prevented from joining her colleagues from been called t bar at the International Conference Centre, Abuja, a development he described as illegal , unlawful , unfortunate shameful and against the Nigerian constitution which allows for freedom of religion.
