“I am grateful for the clean bill of approval and clearance to move forward,” he said.
“This journey is about service and a commitment to all Lagosians. We have built a solid foundation and now we are ready to take the next step toward a greater and more inclusive Lagos.”
“The work continues and I am ready to keep moving forward with you,” Dr. Hamzat added.
The Deputy Governor appeared before the committee alongside respected GAC members including former Minister and Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, Secretary To The State Government, Mrs Salu- Hudeyinas well as notable APC stakeholders including Hon Olusegun Olulade, Hon. Ademola Popoola, Hon Ajala Razak and other loyal party leaders.
