Sanwo-Olu Appoints Oyetunde-Lawal As LASODA GM

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, South-West Nigeria, has approved the appointment of Adenike Oyetunde-Lawal as the new General Manager of the Lagos State Office for Disability Affairs (LASODA).

Gatekeepers News reports that the Head of Service, Bode Agoro in a statement said Oyetunde-Lawal’s appointment is with effect from December 19, 2023.

Agoro said the appointment is in recognition of her impressive track record as a reputable lawyer, highly qualified alternate dispute resolution, human resource personnel, and an emotional intelligence coach.

According to him, “The State Government expects the new General Manager to demonstrate a high level of dedication, diligence, and selflessness in the discharge of her duties to justify the confidence and trust reposed in her by Mr. Governor.”

Before her appointment, Oyetunde-Lawal was the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Persons With Disabilities (Disability and Inclusion).

Her passion-driven conversations around the plight of disability in Nigeria led her to establish the Amputees United Initiative, a social group specifically for amputees.

Oyetunde-Lawal also uses advocacy to push for and encourage the inclusion of persons with disability in Nigeria.
