Lagos Will Use State-of-the-Art Technology To Maximize Youth Potential - Hamzat

According to Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, deputy governor of Lagos State, the state government is committed to maximizing the potential of young people in the state by providing them with state-of-the-art facilities and technology.


The state government would continue to engage, interact, and communicate with the youth, according to Hamzat, who made the assurance when he appeared on Arise TV's "The Morning Show." The government hopes that this will allow the youth to work together and partner with the government in achieving the goals and programs that have been set.


He continued by saying that the Lagos State government has been including young people in a variety of fields to get them involved in the way the nation is managed.


The Assistant Governor noted that some of the state's young are sponsored to visit other nations to observe how things are done, and outlined some of the programs the present administration has implemented to guarantee that the youth are involved and realize their potential for success.


According to Hamzat, the administration of Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu will be remembered for the wonderful initiatives it undertook, which will serve as a legacy.


The Deputy Governor listed a few of them, including initiatives related to road infrastructure, agriculture and food security, and transportation, which includes the three main modes of transportation—road, water, and train.

He claims that no local government in Lagos is exempt from the current administration's implementation of concrete initiatives affirming that Lagos is the only sub-sovereign in the world to include rail construction on its balance sheet on a regular basis.
