So far, President Goodluck Jonathan had endorsed the submission made to him by the Minister of Information and Communication, Prof Dora Akunyili who remains passionate over this development. Presently, the salaries and wages Commission had met twice with the respective Unions over this issue and hopefully, in due course, our members in Federal Government owned Media Organisations – VON, NAN, NTA, and Radio Nigeria will enjoy this new salary package and subsequently, our colleagues in the respective State media. Equally, we intend to engage private media owners, to also buy into this new scheme. Also worried by the hazards of the profession, we have signed an Insurance package with AllCO for all practicing journalists in the country. Since accidents are unplanned, we have taken the personal accident insurance policy which offers members a total package at an affordable cost; this is in additions to the Group Life Assurance Scheme. This scheme will be officially flagged of this Friday, Nov 5, 2010 in Abuja.
