Obafemi Hamzat, deputy governor of Lagos state, says he plans to be the best deputy governor in the history of the state.

He said he would achieve this by working with Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of the state, to achieve their campaign promises.

Hamzat spoke at a meeting with members of staff  of his office in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos, on Friday.

The deputy governor urged member of his office to work together to fulfill the aspirations of the new administration.

“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,” he said.

“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.”
