THE
Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Oyo State council on Friday
condemned in strong terms the sack of top management staff of the
Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State (BCOS) by the state government.
The sack, which came exactly a week after Governor Abiola Ajimobi paid an unscheduled visit to the corporation at Orita Basorun Ibadan, was considered by the NUJ as unexpected, more so that the governor had assured the workforce that his visit was for “restructuring to enable the station excel”.
The union’s position was contained in a press release signed by the chairman, Comrade Gbenga Opadotun.
According to the release, the affected personnel include the Director of News and Current Affairs, Mr. Oyeboade Oyewole, the director in charge of Commercial, Mr. Peter Ajayi, his counterpart in the personnel, Mr. Segun Lawale and that of Engineering, Akinniyi Akinlabi.
Others are the Directors of Programmes and Finance, Mrs. Funmilola Peluola and Ademola Adekanmbi respectively.
Meanwhile, the state government in a statement signed by the Special Adviser, Communication and Strategy to Senator Abiola Ajimobi, Mr Yomi Layinka, described the decision as painful, stating that it is part of the reorganisation process in the company.
