The chairman of the National League of Veteran Journalists (NALVEJ), Kwara state chapter, Alh Tunde Akanbi, has urged the state government to implement special salary scale for journalists in its employment.

He also asked the government to work out special allowances for all journalists covering COVID-19 programmes in the state as it did for frontline health workers.

Akanbi spoke shortly after the swearing of the new executives of NALVEJ in Ilorin, the state capital on Wednesday. The NALVEJ chairman praised the state governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, for bringing the state broadcasting corporation (Radio Kwara) back to life.

He, however, urged the governor to extend similar gesture to the state- owned The Herald newspapers and Kwara Television Service to enable them compete favourably with their peers in any part of the World.

For veteran journalists, Akanbi urged the state government to tap from their wealth of experience.
