Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has appointed Dr. Hassan Sanuth as the new Managing Director of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), following reports that the incumbent, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, was asked to resign over persistent waste management challenges across the state. Sources familiar with the matter said the governor had become dissatisfied with the continued accumulation of refuse on major roads, residential streets, and drainage channels despite directives to improve waste collection. One source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Sanwo-Olu asked Gbadegesin to resign over the weekend, although the outgoing managing director was reportedly seeking more time to address the situation. Relevant state authorities had yet to officially confirm the development as of press time.
