Over 20, 000 Enugu Youths have applied for the state Cleaning and Beautification job initiated by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.

This was made known to public on Friday, 24th May by Rev. Fr. Michael Ogbu, the coordinator of Enugu Clean Team Project (ECTP), who said that the application was for just 1,000 workers, an addition approved by Gov. Ugwuanyi to  create more slots for interested youth in the state.

“After our announcement for recruitment of additional 1,000 staff, more than 20,000 persons applied with at least a school certificate.

“I can recall vividly that when we started the Enugu Clean Team Project, young people were reluctant to come for employment for the initial 1,000 workers in the project but now the story has changed,’’ Ogbu said.

The ECTP was initiated by Gov. Ugwuanyi to provide employment for young people and discourage them from going into crime in addition to keeping the environment clean. It covers road and street sweeping, drainage clearing and de-silting, green verge areas and trees trimming as well as maintenance of ornamental flowers and parks within the state.
