Lagos Sweeper Laments Poor Pay, Seeks Govt Intervention

A street sweeper working with the Lagos State Waste Management Agency has spoken out against alleged exploitation by her superiors, citing poor earnings and harsh working conditions.

In a viral video circulating on social media, the sweeper, who did not reveal her name, accused her supervisors of shortchanging workers and failing to implement the approved salary structure.

She alleged that despite reports that their salary had been increased to N85,000 since August 2024, sweepers continued to receive N30,000 for months.

According to her, the workers were also left to bear the cost of their work tools without any allowance.
