Sanwo-Olu appoints Sanuth as new LAWMA managing director

Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu reportedly appointed Dr. Hassan Sanuth as managing director of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), after asking incumbent Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin to resign amid persistent refuse buildup. State authorities had not officially confirmed the appointment at the time of publication. Sanwo-Olu declared a state of emergency on waste management after visiting the Olusosun dumpsite and ordered an overhaul of LAWMA’s operations. Despite interventions and work at the Olusosun and Solous 3 dumpsites, residents continue to report refuse in several parts of Lagos.
