He served as Commissioner for Science and Technology under Governor Tinubu and Governor Fashola and has been Deputy Governor of Lagos since 2019.

President Tinubu says that Dr. Hamzat played a crucial role in the socio-economic transformation of Lagos with his innovative problem-solving approach.

“He set a benchmark for governance and infrastructure development that continues to serve as a model for public service across Nigeria.

“Beyond his professional accomplishments, Dr. Hamzat is a man of great integrity, humility, and compassion.

“His leadership has endeared him to both government colleagues and the people he serves.

His dedication to the welfare of the citizenry and his ability to inspire others have left an indelible mark on the state and the nation,” the President adds.

On this milestone birthday, President Tinubu, on behalf of a grateful nation, extends his warmest congratulations and deepest appreciation to Dr. Hamzat.

He prays for continued strength, good health, and fulfilment for Hamzat, trusting that his legacy of service and leadership will inspire future generations.
