Chairman of the Lagos Internal Revenue Service (LIRS), Mr. Folarin Ogunsanwo, has been sacked. The Lagos state government said he has been "retired" from his position.

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has also nominated Mr. Ayodele Hamzat Subair as his replacement.

However, NigerianEye said Ogunsanwo "was sacked last week over what a credible source said was financial irregularities under his watch, leaving Ambode with no option but to terminate his appointment."

LIRS is the revenue collecting arm of the Lagos State Government saddled with the responsibility of collecting taxes and other revenues.

Ambode also approved the appointment of Engr. Abiodun Dabiri as the new Managing Director of the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA).
