Renowned Nigerian On-Air Personality (OAP) Dotun has publicly called out a prominent radio station, accusing the media house of failing to pay its staff salaries for over five months. The disclosure, made via a social media post, has raised significant concerns regarding the welfare of workers within Nigeria’s competitive media industry.
In his post, Dotun, who has been an influential figure in Nigerian radio for years, expressed his shock and disappointment over the ongoing salary delays, emphasizing that media professionals are often left in precarious financial situations despite their vital role in shaping public opinion and culture.
“This is absolutely unacceptable,” Dotun wrote, referring to the radio station. “How can hardworking OAPs, producers, and other key staff be left to fend for themselves without pay for over five months? This is a systemic issue that needs urgent attention.”

The allegations have sparked widespread outrage among Nigerian media professionals, who have long struggled with issues related to delayed payments, lack of job security, and poor working conditions. Many are questioning the ethics and sustainability of the industry, where workers often face the dual challenge of low pay and lack of benefits.
Dotun’s statement has brought attention to the darker side of the entertainment and media industry in Nigeria, a sector that continues to thrive commercially but often neglects the wellbeing of those who contribute to its success.
The media house in question has yet to respond publicly to the claims. However, the situation raises larger questions about the treatment of media employees across the industry, including the need for stronger labor protections and better management practices to ensure that workers are compensated fairly and on time.
As the story develops, industry stakeholders are calling for a reevaluation of labor rights and fair pay practices within the Nigerian media space, urging both government and private media houses to address the systemic issues that have left many behind.
