Imagine stepping out in Mushin or Ajegunle and meeting a wall of stinking refuse. That has been daily life for millions.
Lagos has a new acting head for waste. Governor Sanwo-Olu has appointed Olajuwon Akinyemi, ex-Executive Director of Operations, to lead LAWMA. CBI News notes that he replaces Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin, asked to resign after piles kept growing in Ogba, Surulere, Ikorodu, Apapa and Mile 2.
Clean streets are not a luxury. They are health, dignity and livelihoods.
Akinyemi will also oversee finance while a wider shake-up follows.
Next steps: Watch evacuation, dumpsite reform and community voices.
