Sanwo-Olu Moves to Replace LAWMA MD Amid Waste Crisis
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has reportedly decided to replace Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin as the Managing Director of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) with Dr Hassan Sanuth. This decision comes amid persistent complaints regarding refuse accumulation across Lagos.
The Lagos State Government has not yet confirmed this appointment, and the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, has dismissed the claim as untrue. Sources indicate that Sanwo-Olu was dissatisfied with the state of waste management, leading him to ask Gbadegesin to resign over the weekend, although Gbadegesin sought more time to address the issues.
Sanuth previously served as Director of Sanitation Services in the Office of Environmental Services. Sanwo-Olu had expressed his dissatisfaction with waste management during a recent inspection of the Olusosun Dumpsite, describing the situation as “embarrassing” and ordering urgent measures to improve waste collection and disposal.
