Nasarawa state governor ordered the demolition of a newly commissioned radio station
There were allegations that the station was demolished because it aired the complaint of workers on strike over unpaid salary
The radio station was commissioned on March 30th by the governor
Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa state has reportedly demolished a radio station less than two months after he commissioned it.
NAIJ.com learnt that the station was demolished in the early hour of Saturday, May 20, by workers of Nasarawa Urban Development Board (NUDB) who were supposed to be on strike.
The radio station called Breeze 99.9 FM is owed by former gubernatorial candidate and chieftain of People's Democratic Party, Dr Nawani Aboki.
It was commissioned by Governor Al-Makura on March 30, 2017 but less than two moths after, the governor ordered it to be demolished.
According to reports, trouble started between the owner of the station and the governor when the station aired complaints by staff of the state who are on strike over unpaid salary.
According to a Facebook user, Elizabeth Odeh, she wrote: "Last week, the civil servants went on strike for non-payment of salaries for 5 months.
"They came to the radio station to plead to the governor through media and the radio fm advertised it, to our surprise the urban development who are also on strike was in the radio station the following morning to give notice of demolition base on the governor's order.
"This morning they came to the radio station and demolish the building."
