 Serena Williams falls to 20-year-old Maya Joint in Wimbledon return after nearly four-year singles absence Serena Williams showed flashes of the power and precision that defined her Hall of Fame career in her return to professional singles tennis Tuesday, but ultimately fell short in a three-set opening-round loss at Wimbledon. The 44-year-old Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, was defeated 6-3, 6-7 (6), 6-3 by 20-year-old Australian Maya Joint in a match that lasted 2 hours and 22 minutes on Centre Court. It marked Williams’ first singles appearance in nearly four years, since the 2022 U.S. Open. Williams still produced trademark moments, including powerful serves and heavy groundstrokes that once carried her to seven Wimbledon singles titles. But Joint, ranked 87th, absorbed the pace and proved steadier on the biggest points, repeatedly finding angles that pushed Williams out of position. “I don’t know what just happened, to be honest,” Joint said afterward. “I didn’t get ...

 LAWMA WITHDRAWS LICENCES OF UNDERPERFORMING PSP OPERATORS, REALIGNS ROUTES

— Moves to strengthen service delivery and expand coverage across Lagos


The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has withdrawn the licences of some underperforming Private Sector Participation (PSP) operators and realigned waste collection routes in some parts of Lagos State, as part of measures to improve operational efficiency and ensure effective service delivery.


The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin disclosed this at the weekend, noting that the action followed a comprehensive operational review aimed at aligning operator capacity with the growing waste management demands of the State.


He explained that the affected operators were unable to meet required service standards, necessitating the withdrawal of their licences in the interest of public health and environmental sustainability.


The affected operators include

KENNY JPS - Igando-Ikotun (Egan II), CLEAN CRAFT NIG LIMITED -Igando-Ikotun (Isheri-Oshun I), DOVEROOST LTD - Eti-Osa West,  DEWAYLS - Orade (Ijegun Emure) and PESJOY VENTURES - Ejigbo (Bucknor II).


Dr. Gbadegesin further stated that LAWMA had introduced a realignment of routes in areas experiencing rapid development and increased waste generation, where the operational capacity of a single operator had become insufficient.


He explained that under this arrangement, existing operators would retain part of their routes, while additional operators were introduced to complement their capacity for more efficient coverage.


Operators whose routes were realigned include

Shekaz Global Limited - Isolo (Ishaga/Ire Akari axis) and KRESTABOL WASTE MANAGEMENT - Ikorodu (Lowa).


“In locations where development has outpaced the capacity of a single operator, it becomes necessary to redistribute operational responsibilities to guarantee timely and effective service delivery,” he said.


He added that some operators voluntarily relinquished their routes, enabling the Authority to reassign those areas to operators with the capacity to deliver improved services.


Operators in this category are Ayolade Oluwabukola Enterprises - Lagos Island East (Ajele axis) and Imperium Waste Services - Ayoobo/Ipaja (Slot B)


The LAWMA boss emphasised that the restructuring exercise was a strategic intervention to strengthen the PSP framework, improve accountability, and ensure that waste management services keep pace with Lagos’ rapid urban growth.


He urged residents to cooperate with newly assigned operators and continue to patronise only LAWMA-accredited PSP operators.


Dr. Gbadegesin reaffirmed LAWMA’s commitment to continuous monitoring, enforcement, and stakeholder engagement to achieve a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable Lagos.
