Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has commended Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State over the actions taken on some individuals found guilty in the circumstances surrounding the death of Dr. Vwaere Diaso who died last week in a tragic elevator accident at Lagos Island General Hospital, Odan.
Naija News earlier reported that the Lagos government had announced the suspension of the General manager of the Lagos State Infrastructure and Asset Management Agency (LASIAMA).
The state government asko sacked and blacklisted the facility managers in charge of the hospital, while the installation and maintenance contractors have been handed to the police for further investigation and likely prosecution. 
According to the state government, the steps taken are part of the recommendations of the panel set up to look into the likely causes of the accident, identify persons who might be culpable, and suggest ways of preventing any future occurrence.
Reacting in a Twitter post on Monday, Omokri said the actions taken by Governor Sanwo-olu so far have been impressive and commendable.
He also hailed the governor for introducing a policy to involve the hospital management in the running of the facility and ensuring that all staff of the Lagos State Government have life insurance.
Omokri, therefore, asserted that the actions taken by the state government show that it has learnt great lessons from the needless tragedy.
He wrote: “The actions taken by Governor Sanwoolu so far over the unfortunate elevator-linked death of Dr Vwaere Diaso, from the suspension of the GM of the Lagos State Infrastructure and Asset Management Agency, the delisting and sacking of the facility management company and the arrest and handing over of the elevator installers to the police for prosecution has been very commendable.
“And introducing a policy to involve the hospital management in the running of the facility shows that the government has learnt needed lessons from this needless tragedy. I am hard-pressed to see how the Lagos State Government could have handled the situation better.
“Additionally, it is particularly heartwarming that all staff of the Lagos State Government have life insurance provided by the state. And while this will not bring Dr Diasa back, it offers at least some succour to her family.
“Indeed, Lagos has shown itself to be a Centre of Excellence in Nigeria, and I commend the government of the state for restoring the confidence of the public in its ability to govern them effectively.”
