City of Greensboro announces resignation of City Manager Taiwo Jaiyeoba

Update on 3/6/2024 at 12:52 p.m.: Greensboro City Council voted 5-4 at its meeting Tuesday night to accept the resignation of City Manager Taiwo Jaiyeoba and provide him with three months severance including benefits. Mayor Nancy Vaughan and Councilmembers Zack Matheny, Tammi Thurm and Hugh Holston voted against.

The city of Greensboro announced Tuesday City Manager Taiwo Jaiyeoba has resigned amid an ongoing saga involving a domestic incident at his house last year.

A report came out in December that three family members including Jaiyeoba were victims of assault.

The news of his resignation comes just a day after the city announced it would appeal a court ruling to release body camera footage of the incident. Councilmembers released a statement in February after reviewing the video saying Jaiyeoba didn't receive preferential treatment.

Deputy City Manager Chris Wilson will now fill his role in the interim as officials search for a permanent replacement.

Jaiyeoba had been in his position since Feb. 1, 2022.
