A video had gone viral on social media Tuesday showing street sweepers dumping their jumpsuits in protest of unpaid salaries and saying they would no longer do their work.
“What is the essence of working and not being paid? We don’t want your clothes anymore, take it,” people were seen saying in the video.
“They have paid us for April, we are expecting May salary and June is not yet over. Our supervisor said they will pay for May soon,” one of the women answered. “Secondly, those uniforms they dumped, do they look like uniforms that have been worn overtime and have gone through the weather conditions, rain and sun?”“People who are genuinely engaged by genuine contractors are on the street, sweeping and working.”
Mr Akinyele said majority of the sweepers are not street sweepers because, all over Lagos, are people sweeping, hence the protesters are unreal.
