Lagos Waste Crisis: Sanwo-Olu Removes Gbadegesin and Appoints Hassan Sanuth as LAWMA MD

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has reportedly appointed Dr Hassan Sanuth to lead the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), after asking outgoing managing director Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin to resign. State authorities had not confirmed the changes by publication time, but sources linked the move to slow waste collection and refuse piling up on roads and in drainage channels. Sanuth previously served as director of sanitation services in the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources. Last month, after visiting the Olusosun dumpsite, Sanwo-Olu declared a state of emergency on waste management and ordered urgent measures and a review of LAWMA.
