Vanguard reports that the city sweepers of Calabar, the Cross River state capital, have staged a protest.,
The sweepers numbering about 100, today, littered front of the governor’s office with garbage in protest of their four months unpaid salary.
The women told Vanguard that the last time they were paid their monthly stipends was in December of 2022.
Their protest attracted the attention of passers-by, leading to obstruction of vehicular movement around the seat of power located on Leopard Road.
Vanguard observed that they poured debris from wasted bin and other garbage from the first gate, which is the main entrance used only by the governor to the second gate, used by others persons.
Security personnel including policemen, Department Security Services, DSS, were seen trying to stop passers-by and journalists from taking pictures and making videos as they were “apprehending” onlookers and deleting the pictures from their devices.
