Comrade Aremu expressed dissatisfaction with the repositioning exercise, lamenting that nothing to show for the project after the injection of millions of naira by the government.

According to him, "The staff of the organization had on second to third of September, 2018 embarked on a peaceful protest to raise alarm over the fraudulent repositioning exercise and called for the immediate removal of the Sole administrator of the state owned media houses, Dr. Muideen Akorede who has been in charge of the repositioning.

The labour leader said the two old 35 kilowatt transmitters of the Midland FM had broken down, while the newly purchased 10 kilowatt transmitter developed fault within two weeks when it was installed as a result of lack of UPS.
