“He set a benchmark for governance and infrastructure development that continues to serve as a model for public service across Nigeria.

 

“Beyond his professional accomplishments, Dr. Hamzat is a man of great integrity, humility, and compassion.

 

 “His leadership has endeared him to both government colleagues and the people he serves. 

His dedication to the welfare of the citizenry and his ability to inspire others have left an indelible mark on the state and the nation,” the President adds.

 

On this milestone birthday, President Tinubu, on behalf of a grateful nation, extends his

warmest congratulations and deepest appreciation to Dr. Hamzat.
