Sanwo-Olu orders immediate suspension of LASIAMA boss

A seismic shockwave reverberated through Lagos as Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu wielded his executive authority, issuing a jaw-dropping order that left the city in stunned silence.

In a move that sent shockwaves through the corridors of power, Sanwo-Olu ordered the immediate suspension of Mrs. Adenike Adekanbi, the General Manager of the Lagos State Infrastructure and Asset Management Agency (LASIAMA).

The truth thundered forth from the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information and Strategy, Mr. Olumide Sogunle, who delivered the shocking revelation in an unprecedented statement released on a somber Sunday in Lagos.

This shocking decision, a thunderbolt of governance, came crashing down based on the unflinching findings of an investigative panel that probed the harrowing incident surrounding the heart-wrenching death of Dr. Diaso Vwaere, tragically lost in the throes of an elevator accident. The shocking episode unfolded within the once secure walls of General Hospital, Odan, Lagos, casting a dark shadow over the heart of the city.

The governor’s stern voice resounded as he revealed the chilling details, disclosing that LASIAMA held sway over the activities of the facility management company that lorded over the house officers quarters of the ill-fated hospital.

Unyielding in his resolve, Sanwo-Olu proclaimed, “We have sacked and blacklisted the facility managers.” The potent force of his resolve left no room for equivocation.

In a move that redefined accountability, the governor ordered a structural metamorphosis, realigning the operations and chain of command to ensure that the hospital management was intricately woven into the fabric of responsibility.

But the governor’s actions did not stop there. Sanwo-Olu’s gaze fell upon the architects of the tragedy, the installation and maintenance contractors. With a steely determination, he handed them over to the relentless pursuit of justice, unleashing the police to investigate and prosecute if guilt were to be found.

“Why did the safety devices fail in tandem?” Sanwo-Olu’s voice resonated, the question hanging heavy in the air. The governor’s persistence refused to waver. A team of intrepid engineers set out to unravel the chilling enigma, delving into the dark corners of mechanical failure to unearth the truth. The fateful elevator, a symbol of modernity, was subjected to rigorous scrutiny, its secrets pried open by the unrelenting quest for answers.

But the governor’s gaze widened, casting an unrelenting eye over every vertical passage of the city. He issued a mandate to the Lagos Safety Commission, demanding an immediate audit of all elevators that guarded the secrets of public offices.

The grand tableau reached its heart-wrenching crescendo as Sanwo-Olu, a voice laden with empathy, expressed his condolences to the bereaved family and colleagues. “As a government, we feel the pain of this irreparable loss,” he confessed, his voice heavy with the weight of empathy.

In one unprecedented move, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu etched his name into the annals of Lagos’s history, a leader unafraid to confront tragedy head-on, leaving no stone unturned in his quest for justice.
