Female street cleaners in Calabar municipality and Calabar South LGA have protested their unpaid four-month salaries by the Cross River government.

The placard-carrying street sweepers stood at the entrance of the Governorโ€™s Office Tuesday to remonstrate with the Cross River government.

โ€˜Pay us our moneyโ€™ and โ€œWe are tired of working without pay,โ€™ read some of the placards.

The protest leader, Nkoyo Effiong, 60, lamented their frustration of working without pay for four months to journalists.

โ€œWe are here to let the governor know that we have not been paid for four months now,โ€ stated Ms Effiong.

She revealed that in 2015, โ€œthey refused to pay us for six months, and now they want to go away with our four monthsโ€™ salaries.โ€

According to her, the government pays some street cleaners N5,000 monthly, others N10,000.

โ€œWhile those we call wreckers are paid N15,000 a month; we just want them to give us our money before they leave office,โ€ Ms Effiong explained.

Another street cleaner, Emana Cobham, stressed the risk involved in cleaning streets, pointing out that cleaners are expected at their duty posts as early as 4:30 a.m.

โ€œWe have lost some sweepers to accidents,โ€ stated Ms Cobham. โ€œSome have been raped while others have been robbed of their valuables, including phones.โ€

Information commissioner Eric Anderson said the government was aware of the matter but added, โ€œThat is not my beat. You have to contact the commissioner for the environment.โ€

Commissioner for environment Nfon Bassey did not immediately replied to request for comments when contacted.
