Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, says he plans to be the best deputy governor ever in the state, by working in synergy with Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu to better the lives of citizens.

Hamzat spoke on Friday, at a meeting with the staff of the Office of the Deputy Governor, ODG, at Alausa, Ikeja.

According to him, he and Gov. Sanwo-Olu are familiar with the state, the civil servants, where the food is and what to prepare for the people, and have no excuse but to do what is right.

“It worries me that the life span of a typical Nigerian is below required standard: men – 46, women -49, which means we are doing something wrong.

“Our health system is bad, our environment is horrible and everything is going down the drains.

“This is why our project THEMES are hinged on Traffic Management and Transportation; Health and Environment, Education and Technology, Making Lagos a 21st Century Economy, Entertainment and Tourism, as well as Security and Governance.

“We owe it to God and to our children to build this land, so that our children can be proud of our country and stop running to other countries for greener pastures, so they can sustain us when we are old.

“I urge our civil servants to be the best in whatever they do. I plan to be the best deputy governor ever in this state, so that together, we can transform Lagos State to better our citizens,” he said.

Hamzat said the yearly budget of the state was still just a scratch in the surface.

“Our budget in Lagos State is less than 3billion dollars, the fire department of the New York City spends 2.8 billion dollars, just a city.

The NYPD, Police, spent 6 billion dollars in 2018, twice the budget of our state.

“Which means we have just scratched the surface. A lot needs to be done because many people will keep coming to Lagos, and whatever we are doing, we must do it in three folds.

“We will work together as a government and as a people to resolve the challenges that face us as a state, to help businesses operate better, create jobs for our teeming youths and grow our economy,” he said.

Earlier, Mrs. Yetunde Odejayi, Permanent Secretary, Office of the Deputy Governor, described Hamzat as a diligent and hardworking man who had served the state in different capacities.

According to her, he knows the state so much and will make meaningful impact during his administration.

“Gov. Sanwo-Olu and his deputy are the right pegs in the right holes.

“We the staff of your office are ready to assist and work with you in any capacity to make your administration a smooth one,” she said.

Hamzat on Thursday resumed duty officially at the State secretariat in Alausa along with Gov. Sanwo-Olu.

Good. For someone who has aspired to be governor for long. Hope he can squeeze into his new role

We hope you will be loyal to your boss for the betterment of Lagos, cos absolute power corrupts, give your best, dont backstab, and if karma were kind enough, you would also climb the throne....

yes he is a Christian.

As it stands now, all the governors in Southwest are Christians except Osun governor, and the children of hate and perdition from the yeast will want us to believe that SW has been taken over by muslims Calling Yoruba Muslim at any chance given. Nonsense

So help him God....Amen

Hamzat is certainly not a pushover in Lagos politics, he has served under two of the most cerebral governors the state has ever had in very active capacity, (Fashola and Asiwaju)

He knows the nook and crannies of Lagos State, and his support group with Fuad Oki and BRF in Lagos is a very strong force to be reckoned with. I really hope him and Sanwo-Olu will be able to work together. One thing for sure is that they are both very passionate about Lagos and want the best in development and progress for the Center of Excellence

Fool! Go and mind the business of your home state.

This naive one is looking for the other side of his boss, your duty is to be a backup and not for show up, so sit your ass down.
