Street sweepers are hired by commercial businesses under well-written contracts that specify their rights and obligations. These private businesses are in charge of paying their hired sweepers directly. The pay for sweepers has been modified in response to a recent wage review to match the national minimum wage and to reflect their four-hour daily shift work pattern.
Under this arrangement, supervisors make ₦50,000 a month, while sweepers make ₦40,000. Employees benefit financially from this structure, which also gives them flexibility to engage in other economic pursuits outside of their designated shifts.
Dedication to Employee Welfare LAWMA has put in place a number of programs to improve street sweepers’ efficiency, safety, and well-being because it is dedicated to enhancing their working conditions and welfare. These consist of: • Consistent health and safety instruction to guarantee optimal procedures in their day-to-day activities. • Sweeping routes should be reclassified to put worker security and safety first. • Emergency and accident insurance to provide medical assistance in the event of an incident at work. • The provision of work tools and clothing to guarantee their efficiency and dignity in their responsibilities.
Resolving Issues and Maintaining Compliance Street sweepers’ concerns are taken seriously by LAWMA, which is dedicated to making sure they are treated fairly and in accordance with established standards. Reports of wage disparities or contract violations are looked into very once, and if required, corrective action is taken.
The commitment of these vital employees is what makes the street sweeping program successful, and LAWMA will keep enforcing laws that protect their well-being while improving service delivery for a cleaner Lagos. Management Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) signed the document.
