Illiya Kefas is the Chairman of the Taraba State Environmental and Sanitation Agency, notable for his recent defense of a controversial salary cut for street sweepers in the state. He clarified that the reduction of their monthly allowance from N15,000 to N10,000 was an internal decision aimed at managing the agency's resources more effectively, rather than a directive from the state governor. Kefas has emphasized the financial challenges faced by the agency due to an expanding workforce and operational costs, which necessitated the adjustment in salaries. His comments reflect the ongoing economic pressures within local government operations in Nigeria.
