ADP enjoins Ambode to settle Visionscape workers’ salary arrears

LAGOS State chapter of Action Democratic Party (ADP) has called on the state governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, to immediately attend to the salaries owed the street sweepers who stormed the state capital in protest on Monday.

ADP made the appeal on Tuesday in a statement issued by its publicity secretary, Prince Adelaja Adeoye, describing as unfair the way and manner by which the street sweepers were being treated by the Visionscape and Lagos State government.

The party, while saying that Visionscape that had repeatedly failed to improve the environmental outlook, waste management and disposal system in the state even with all its “bogus sophistication” unlike the PSP it tried to replace, lamented that the company’s workers were being owed salaries, with no payment of hazard allowance, or provision of basic working tools and other benefits to them.

ADP said it was shameful that the street sweepers had to protest at Alausa, the state Capital on Monday, to show their displeasure, stressing that the people’s welfare should be the utmost concern of the government and should not allow innocent workers to suffer untold hardship for rendering service to the state.
