Street sweepers in Ekiti State have
appealed to Governor Ayodele Fayose not
to sack them amid rumour that their salary
had been reduced to N5,000.
Addressing journalists in Ado Ekiti on
Friday, their spokesmen, Ojo Olufemi and
Kunle Ayegbusi, who gave the number of
the sweepers to be 700, urged the governor
to retain the present N10,000 monthly
stipend being paid to them.
Ayegbusi, who described Fayose as a man
of the people, said relieving them of their
jobs would further compound unemployment
problem and increase the risk of disease in
the state.
He said, “We heard that the Government
is planning to reduce the stipend to N5,000
monthly and reduce the working hours
from six hours to two to justify the
reduction.
“But we are aware that the same work
would still be done by our members even
within that two hours. We used to allot
200 metres portion of land to each sweeper,
which I think they can still do even if the
hours time is reduced.
“If the government wanted to reduce the
working hours and the money, it means
there should be reduction in the workload.
And if this happens, the government would
have to hire more hands and the situation
will remain the same.
“We are pleading with the Government to
retain our members in order to protect our
families and their well-being,” Ayegbusi
said.
Olufemi added that the members would
continue to discharge their duties with
utmost zeal and dedication to promote
hygiene in the State.
He said members will not shirk in their
responsibilities to give Ado-Ekiti and
Ikere township, where they presently
operate.

Most of these street sweepers have other jobs or are traders.

They do the street sweeping to give themselves extra income.
