Lagos State Deputy Governor and APC governorship candidate, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, has outlined key areas of his vision for Lagos, with emphasis on transportation, housing, small businesses, accountability and child welfare.
Hamzat spoke at a town hall meeting with Generation Z and millennials held at the Marriott Hotel, Ikeja GRA, Lagos, on Thursday, October 1, 2026, as part of activities marking Nigeria’s Independence Day.
The engagement, organised by Pastor Poju Oyemade, provided an opportunity for young Lagosians to ask questions about the future of the state. Hamzat spoke extensively about his background, experience in public service and his vision for Lagos.
Speaking about his personal connection with Lagos, Hamzat said he was born and raised in Mushin and attended primary school in the community.
“I was born in Mushin. I went to primary school there. I donated a library to the school,” he said.
Hamzat also reflected on the importance of planning and continuity in governance, stressing that government must have clearly defined plans and the discipline to execute them.
“Government can change people when they plan well. They have a role to play,” he said, while stressing the need for government to ensure that development does not leave people behind.
