Its now a trend in the print media industry to owe staff their salary. This one is a peculiar case. The present MD of DAILY INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER was sacked years ago after some years he made his way back to become the MD because the publisher is not in the country. NUJ should do something and kick his ass-whole out of that company. All he does is squander the hard-earned money of the staff.  He doesn't even remit the pension money to TRUSTFUND PENSIONS PLC. Nigerians should do something about companies that owe their staff. Nigeria Senate should look into this and enact a law that should protect staff.
