Lagos — The three-day old strike by workers under the aegis of Radio, Television, Theatre and Arts Workers Union of Nigeria (RATTAWU), Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) and Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil Service Technical and Recreational Services Employees (AUPCTRE) over non-payment of 33 months monetisation arrears owed them by the Federal Government has paralysed activities in the media, health and education sectors.
Members of RATTAWU and NUJ on Thursday prevented the live transmission of Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) network live programmes from the Senate and House of Representatives.
NTA Abuja repeated old and outdated programmes for most of the day. While the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) was on skeletal services, the National Hospital, Abuja, as well as Federal Medical Centres across the country are also affected.
