The Nation Columnist, Mobolaji Sanusi Appointed as New LASAA Boss

 

A columnist with The Nation newspaper, Mobolaji Sanusi, has been appointed the new Managing Director of the Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA) by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode. He succeeded George Noah and reportedly resumed work today, Wednesday, September 16th.

It was gathered that Sanusi was recommended for the job by Tunji Bello, a former Commissioner for Environment, a former LASAA MD and current Secretary to the Lagos State Government.

Sanusi who is a die-hard fan of ex-Lagos Governor, Bola Tinubu, is known to have defended the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on several occasions. On June 5, 2015, He lambasted immediate past Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola, in a article he titled "Fashola’s signal of ingratitude".

In the piece, he castigated the Senior Advocate of Nigeria for working against Tinubu, who according to him, 'kick-started his (Fashola’s) great leap to political prominence'.

LASAA, a brain-child of Tinubu, was established by the Lagos State Structures for Signage and Advertisement Agency Law, 2006 and is responsible for regulating and controlling outdoor advertising and signage displays in Lagos State.
