Not less than 300 employees by Cleaner Lagos Initiave, an initiative of Visionscape who have a partnership with the Lagos State Government to keep the Lagos environment clean.

The affected workers are Sanitation Supervisors whose responsibility is to supervise Community Sanitation Workers that take care of the cleanliness of Lagos streets. Also they follow and monitor the activities of trucks that pick garbage from residents, engaged in blackspot evacuation and fly tipping. They were directly sacked by Standard Streey Manpower Limited, a contractor under Visionscape.

According to one of the sacked workers, “a lot of us resigned from previous jobs because we believe this job will be more career-based and futuristic. This sack from what we gathered has political undertone. 2019 election is fast approaching and the politicians who were contractors under the PSP arrangement and were doing a shabby job in cleaning Lagos are not happy that they lost their contracts. The Lagos State Government is therefore being blackmailed to give the contracts back so as to get their support in the upcoming election”

The reason given for this mass sack was not that the workers were not carrying out their jobs effectively, but that the Community Sanitation Workers are now to be under the Lagos State Ministry of Environment. The Ministry, therefore, ordered for the sack of the supervisors.

Below is a copy of the sack letter:

Sad.

Mod this is a front page material oo, the way Lagos are sacking employees now and replace by their follower is becoming unbearable... If you can not join politics now, your government job is at stake... This was exactly I loose my own job too with lagos state government...


Too sad for the victim of cleaner Lagos


Lalasticlacla your food is ready

This is not acceptable in anyway.. This politiking should be tackled... Very saddening

I always knew SSML as a company was a sham. From forceful transfer from visionscape(where supervisors trained for about 2 years) to owing up to 2 months salaries without pay, (and without HMO), To an abrupt termination of employment. Whereby most of the supervisors resigned from their previous place of work.

This is injustice and political manipulation at work here in Lagos. Our dear Gov Ambode what's going on ?

This country can never change how would a government disengaged 300 workers just like that . This is injustice and it must be attended to ASAP to avoid unforseen calamity . After they will say they see one lazy nigeria youth .

Very good

we say work nor dey nd den still dey sack, na wa o

m

This is where I don't understand Ambode. I knew there was gonna be a problem with this visionscape thing. I know he wants to favour some of his own people that supported him but he should know this thing will backfire because there were old people under the PSP contract before this people came on board and now the whole thing is turning around. BTW, the old PSP guys respond to picking trash truck than this new visionscape guys.

Ok

No were to manage again nao.

Plus 300 added to the Labour market.


my country my country check my SIGNATURE

Creating more unemployed people

what a pity

Na wa o.
Adding more to unemployment rate instead of reducing it.

Those who voted sai barber are losing their jobs...

The workers are liars. Lagos is dirty because they're not doing their job

No truer comment than this. It's very easy for us to attack the government without putting into cognisance our faults as citizens. Even though it's undeniable that they contribute to the menace, however, we(the citizens) equally take a huge chunk of the blame.

The HR person who wrote the letter really needs to still go back to school at least for his/her use of English. I had to read the letter thrice to understand its intent!

At last

Someone sensible


People complaining that the streets are dirty should ask how the dirt got to the street in the first place

Dumb Nigerians throwing trash everywhere and turning back to blame the govt.

Why can't the market organise themselves and map out strategies to dispose waste that they generate?

Can't each market contribute towards this?

All the dues that they pay is now for what

What kind of shithole country is this bikonu
