The Osun State Government has announced plans to recruit able-bodied men and women as ad hoc road sweepers to strengthen environmental sanitation across designated areas of the state.
The recruitment exercise was announced by the Osun State Taskforce on Environmental Sanitation in a public notice signed by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Hon. Kolapo Alimi, on behalf of the taskforce.
According to the announcement, applicants must be at least 30 years old, medically fit and residents of the areas where they intend to work.
The designated areas include Akoda-Abere, Ataoja-Ogo-Oluwa, Olaiya-Old Garage, Igbonna-Ayetoro, Power Line-Ota-Efun and Kobongbogboe.
Others are Ataoja-Dele Yes Sir, Stadium-Testing Ground, Ilesa-Garage, Oke-Fia-Dada Estate, Dele Yes Sir-Lameco and Oroki Housing Estate.
Interested applicants are required to submit application letters to the General Manager of the Osun Waste Management Agency at its office in the former Boreepo House, West Bye-Pass, Ring Road, Osogbo.
The government stated that the deadline for submission of applications is Thursday, November 12, 2026.
The recruitment is expected to support routine road sweeping and complement the state’s efforts to maintain a cleaner environment.
It would be recalled that Governor Ademola Adeleke had earlier declared every Thursday as Environmental Sanitation Day across the state, directing offices, markets, shopping malls, homes and other public places to be cleaned between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m.
