 Journalists and other media practitioners across the three Quarra state-owned media houses, Herald newspaper Radio Quarra and Quarra state television, have embarked on a two-day warning strike to press home their age-long demand, bordering on better working environment, unpaid allowances, and the need to be recognized and treated as essential workers. The angry workers who were led by the chairman, Niger, union of journalist Suleiman Gobiur and his counterpart, Abdul Hamid Alaei, in the early hours of Tuesday, barricaded the major entrance into the media houses, insisting they could no longer bear the hardship in line of their duties calling on the state governor Abdul Rahman Abdul Razak to address the issues raised. We have been trying in certain areas, but what we are saying affects us as professionals because when you are happy doing what you are doing, you have what we call job satisfaction. When you are doing something and you are not happy about it, an environment is not conducive. The facilities we have have become absolute. Actually we have cities of agitation which are genuine, like the issue of our way in allowance, which has been long overdue, that has been paid by the currency government. The condition of our working equipment, the working environment is not conducive, it's not palatable. Reacting to the development, the general manager of the Radio Quarra, Kaya Day Aremu, maintained that the request of the workers is already receiving the needed attention despite being budgetary issues. For now, normal activities in the affected media organizations have been crumbled due to the industrial action.
