Hamzat's Debate Performance Sets Him Apart in Lagos Race

Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, stood out in the Lagos State Governorship Debate organized by the Nigeria Debate Consortium, which included major media houses such as The Punch Newspaper, Vanguard Newspaper, TVC, and Channels. Hamzat, who holds a PhD in Systems Process Engineering from Cranfield University, presented a technocratic approach to urban issues, emphasizing process optimization and expanding Lagos's power capabilities.

His extensive experience includes serving as a Special Assistant, a 12-year tenure as a Commissioner in Science & Technology and Works & Infrastructure, and nearly eight years as Deputy Governor. He introduced "The Lagos Promise" (Ìlérí Èkó), a structured framework with a 7-pillar acronym and 100 specific pledges, urging voters to evaluate his plans rigorously.

Hamzat criticized reliance on abstract theories and emphasized data-driven solutions, particularly addressing real estate issues through the enforcement of the Lagos State Real Estate Agency law.
