He also donated ₦80 million to St Agnes Medical Centre, Maryland, to help acquire critical equipment, especially for its Intensive Care Unit, and fully operationalise the facility.

Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, Dayo Bush-Alebiosu, announced the donation on his behalf at the 2026 Thanksgiving and Bazaar of St Agnes Catholic Church, Maryland, where Hamzat was chairman.

Hamzat also pledged to complete Massey Children’s Hospital, Ojo General Hospital and Somolu General Hospital, and to expand service capacity across nine general hospitals.
