Chairman of NUJ in Ekiti state Rotimi Ojomoyela, made this known in Ado-Ekiti, lamenting that many journalists in both radio and newspapers are currently being owed between five months and one year salary or more. According to him, owing journalists unpaid salaries without any immediate plans to pay up, ordinarily exposes members to a series of temptations.
Ojomoyela  while commenting on the issue of fake news, said the National secretariat of the union is looking into the issue, in partnership with the 36 States Council to arrest the situation by dealing decisively with unqualified persons who gate-crash into the system.
He, however, appealed with politicians to avoid rushing to the media to dish out misleading information about their opponents, saying no journalist would also rush into publishing such damaging information without first verifying its genuineness.
