Sanwo-Olu asks Gbadegesin to resign, appoints Sanuth as new LAWMA MD

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu reportedly asked LAWMA Managing Director Muyiwa Gbadegesin to resign over persistent refuse accumulation and appointed Hassan Sanuth to replace him. State authorities had not officially confirmed the reported changes by press time. Sanwo-Olu had declared a state of emergency on waste management after seeing rubbish heaps across Lagos and ordered an overhaul of LAWMA, while residents continue to report refuse in several communities. Fires at the Olusosun and Solous 3 dumpsites and failures by some private operators have slowed waste collection.
