Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has approved the appointment of Mrs. Adenike Oyetunde-Lawal as the new General Manager of the Lagos State Office for Disability Affairs (LASODA).
The Head of Service, Mr. Bode Agoro, said in a statement on Wednesday that the appointment took effect from Dec. 19.
Agoro said the appointment was in recognition of Oyetunde-Lawal’s impressive track records as a reputable lawyer; highly qualified alternate dispute resolution; human resource personnel; and an emotional intelligence coach.
He said the state government expected the new general manager to demonstrate a high level of dedication; diligence; and selflessness in the discharge of her duties.
According to him, this will justify the confidence and trust reposed in her by the 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.
”She also uses advocacy to push for and encourage the inclusion of persons with disability in Nigeria,” he said.
