  "summary": "Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has appointed Olajuwon Akinyemi as the acting Managing Director of the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) following the resignation of Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin. In addition to this reshuffle, the governor has also appointed Dr Tijani Olorunwa as acting Director of Operations. Mr Kunle Adebiyi, who was previously Executive Director of Finance, will continue in his role. The comprehensive reorganisation of LAWMA is aimed at addressing the waste crisis that has plagued residents, with refuse accumulating in various locations across the state. As part of the overhaul, senior officers with Salary Grade Levels 13-17 have been redeployed to other arms of the Lagos State public service, with exemptions made for certain departments and the initial period of 90 days for key leadership members.",
