Street sweepers in Edo have protested against the payment of N17,820 as their salary by the state waste management board.
The sweepers, who were majorly women, on Monday, staged a protest in Benin city, the state’s capital to demand a pay rise.

Adams Oshiomhole and we are still being paid the same salary.“They would tell us that Governor Godwin Obaseki said he didn’t recognise us as working with the government, but if they want to do anything in Benin and they want to make the city look beautiful, they will come to call us.“For instance, after finishing our own task on Saturday, they asked us to go to New Benin and clean it up and we went.
