Raheem Akingbolu pays tribute to Engr. Samuel Egube, describing him as a national treasure, a blessing to Lagosians and a global ambassador of Isoko nation
Some leaders earn recognition through visibility; others earn it through the quiet consistency and weight of their work. Engr. Samuel Egube, FNSE, Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor of Lagos State, belongs to the latter category: a technocrat in public office whose influence is reflected in competence, discipline, strategic leadership, and institutional trust.
Over the years, he has built a reputation as one of the respected figures within Lagos State governance, trusted to serve in roles that require judgment, coordination, and a strong understanding of how government works. His appointment as Deputy Chief of Staff reflects not only professional excellence but also the confidence reposed in him to support governance at the highest level. It is this remarkable record of service and leadership that has inspired the Urhobo and Isoko Elites in Lagos to honour him.
As Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor of Lagos State, Engr. Egube occupies a central position within the state’s governance structure. The role demands discretion, administrative discipline, and the ability to support executive coordination in a state as complex and economically significant as Lagos. His appointment also reflects a longstanding relationship of trust with the Governor and the Lagos State Government, particularly in a role that is central to continuity, coordination, and effective cabinet operations.
