Keep per WP:BASIC and WP:NPROF#7 "frequently quoted in conventional media as an academic expert in a particular area", because there appear to be more than sources related to the institution where she works, or articles about the university in GNews. For example: Government should focus on providing decent, affordable housing, says Lawanson (The Guardian (Nigeria), 2022, interviewed as an expert), Researchers want autonomy for local councils The Guardian (Nigeria), 2022, "The Convener, Prof. Taibat Lawanson, said that the gathering was to investigate specific PCPs for implementation in Lagos State, with the intent of sharing learning and best practices across other African cities."), In Lagos, Vulnerable Communities Are Buried by Urbanization (Scientific American, 2021, interviewed as an expert), Class divide: mass demolitions drive poor from valuable land in Lagos (The Guardian, 2021, quoted as an expert), What Lagos must do to attain good governance, by stakeholders (The Nation (Nigeria), 2019, "A consultant to the Resilience Office and professor of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Lagos, Taibat Lawanson, ..."), Au Nigeria, le cimetière marin de la lagune de Lagos au cœur de tous les trafics (AFP/Le Monde, 2019, quoted as an expert), Stakeholders seek increased collaboration to tackle water scarcity (The Punch, 2018, "Also speaking at the symposium, a lecturer at the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Lagos, Prof. Taibat Lawanson, explained..."), Experts decry non-domestication of urban planning laws in states (The Guardian (Nigeria), 2018, quoted as an expert), Divergent views trail calls for adoption of vertical city development (The Guardian (Nigeria), 2018, quoted as an expert), How officials aid property owners to evade planning regulations on parking spaces (The Guardian (Nigeria), 2016, quoted as an expert).
