All dis wahala follow mouth talk wey happen between the radio union and the management like soap operas wey no fit finish.
One of the workers, wey dey carry the inside gist to us, tell say during the Armed Forces Remembrance Day, Paul Mandeun, wey be the chairman of the Radio Chapel editorial committee, carry the palaver give Governor Alia. E tell the governor say make e check wetin dey go on because salary no dey show face for dem account anymore. The governor, no wan curry wahala sef, talk sey e no sabi about the cut, but e quickly order Accountant-General and Head of Service, Agbogbo Ode, make dem investigate the matter sharp, sharp!
Mandeun no just stop there, e still tell the governor say make dem buy new transmitter and bring solar panels make dem fit broadcast better. Wetin dis man no go do for the betterment of the station?
But as e be, e no sweet for the management as dem vex say Mandeun no suppose carry matter go meet the governor. Na so dem give am query sharperly! This one come cause wahala for the workers as dem think sey e no dey good to treat Mandeun like say e no value. Dem carry their leg begin protest make dem hear their voice.
