The National President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Comrade Abdulwaheed Odusile has called on members of the National Assembly to support its bill seeking to regulate media practice in Nigeria.

He made this call during a courtesy visit to the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, on Monday in Abuja.

Odusile lamented that journalists in Nigeria were poorly treated by their employers, stressing that some were being owed close to 23 months salary arrears, a situation he said causes them to compromise in the course of their duties.
