The Lagos State Government has suspended Ms Adenike Adekanbi, the General Manager, Lagos State Infrastructure and Asset Management Agency (LASIAMA), for not properly overseeing the activities of the agency.
The suspendion followed the death of a medical doctor, Vwaere Diaso, due to elevator collapse at the Lagos General Hospital, Odan, on Aug. 1.
Mr Olumide Sogunle, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information and Strategy, said in a statement on Sunday, that the government also ordered that the facility managers be sacked and the firm blacklisted immediately.
Sogunle said that these actions taken were necessitated by the findings of the panel set up to look into the likely causes, identify persons who might be culpable, and suggest ways of preventing any future occurrence of elevator accident.
The permanent secretary said that for transparency, the membership of the panel included representatives of the Medical Guild and six representatives of House Officers.
