NLC President Joe Ajaero called for talks to begin well before implementation in April 2027, so the agreed wage reflects the cost of essential goods and services. Speaking at the 2026 Labour Writers Association of Nigeria conference in Lagos, the NLC also condemned low pay, job insecurity, weak pension arrangements and a lack of social protection for Nigerian journalists, urging the NUJ to take its union responsibilities more seriously.

Signed on October 27, 2026, after more than six hours of negotiations, the deal provides for six months of payments starting in November and implementation of a 40 per cent peculiar allowance, with arrears paid in three instalments.
