Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr Kadri Hamzat has said that the APC Presidential candidate, Mr. Bola Tinubu will maximise the use of technology to secure the country from insurgency and banditry
He also assured that it will not be a walk in the park for the insurgents and other criminal elements who have been terrorising residents in many parts of the country, if Tinubu is elected come February 25th.
The Deputy Governor gave this assurance while speaking at a Zoom session with members of the Lagos APC Media and Publicity Committee.
He said Tinubu while serving as Lagos State Governor laid the foundation for a Command Centre which had helped in quick response to emergencies situation in the state and this according to him allowed the State to track revenue performance using technology and to also block leakages in the system.
“Lagos kicked off the use of technology in her revenue drive, other 16 states of the country have also implemented the system.
“Similarly, technology had assisted in retrieving the victory of Ondo state Governor, Olusegun Mimiko and Osun counterpart, Rauf Aregbeshola when their victory was denied at the poll. I headed the technical team and we were able to assemble 15 forensic experts who worked 16 hours daily scanning all the ballot papers.”
“The Nigerian police had only 2 finger print experts at the time the case was before the Election Petition Tribunal noting that one was also at the verge of retirement then, we relied on the use of technology while pressing the case at the Tribunal which later gave us victory,” he said
The Lagos Deputy Governor further stressed that Bola Tinubu long ago believed that to sustain the nation’s democracy, the process has to be one man one vote and Nigerians should expect nothing less, especially a technological-driven government if Tinubu is elected as President.
Innovations and Tech
Hamzat mentioned that the Rule of Law now depends on technology as judges in Lagos have also deployed a tech-driven process which has fastened the dispensation of justice in the state.
On the Light Rail project, Dr Hamzat noted that the idea was conceived during Bola Tinubu administration and it is powered by technology for safety and efficiency purposes and that the technology introduced was to detect any untoward attack on the rail.
According to him, “the light rail was conceived and gave birth to the setting up of LAMATA which was the foundation and we have sustained and built on it., we have also worked extensively on the Health sector and ICT.
“Lagos has Yaba ICT Hub, and the idea behind the Yaba Hub is to create a Broadband platform for people to make use of fast Internet for their daily activities.”
The Deputy Governor is convinced that residents of Lagos will look at the antecedents and capacity of the Presidential candidates to deliver and arrive at the choice of Tinubu on February 25th.
Earlier, the Chairman, Lagos APC PCC Media and Publicity Committee, Hon Kehinde Bamgbetan explained that the forum was to showcase the achievements of the Tinubu led government in the area of Information Communication Technology.
