Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has appointed Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin as the Managing Director of the Lagos State Waste Management Authority.

This was contained in an internal memo addressed to staff of the agency signed by T. A. Dosunmu.

The internal memo asked all staff of the agency to accord Gbadegesin the “usual cooperation.

The internal memo read, “I wish to refer to the above subject matter and to convey the appointment of Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin as Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) by Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, The Governor of Lagos State with effect from 13th July, 2023
