Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Monday, January 19, signed the ₦4.4 trillion 2026 budget into law.

The signing ceremony took place at the conference room, Lagos house, Alausa secretariat, Ikeja.

The Lagos state house of assembly had earlier passed the budget, tagged “Budget of shared prosperity,” in January.

The lawmakers approved a bill authorising the issuance and appropriation of ₦4,444,509,776,438 for the 2026 fiscal year.

Present at the ceremony were the deputy governor, Obafemi Hamzat; members of the state executive council; the head of service, Bode Agoro; lawmakers from the Lagos state house of assembly; and other key stakeholders.

While presenting the appropriation bill to the house in November 2025, Sanwo-Olu said the budget was designed to promote prosperity and build a Lagos that benefits all residents.

“Our mission remains clear: to eradicate poverty and build a Lagos that works for all.

“Our vision continues to guide every fiscal decision we make, to deliver a Greater Lagos where shared prosperity is not an aspiration but a lived and felt reality,” the governor said.

Sanwo-Olu added that the budget is anchored on four pillars: a human-centred approach, modern infrastructure, a thriving economy, and effective governance, all aligned with the state’s T.H.E.M.E.S+ Agenda.

50% person goes to the person using Lagos as a side hustle.

Before you come for me, wait until he's no more. These puppets will speak out for history.

You people should stop the years of nagging about Lagos state.

Channel your energy on your state governor on how he has been spending the money meant for the state. Let your charity begins from your backyard

I only comment on the states I am from or related to. I'm a Lagos indigene. Even if I weren't, I am a Nigerian. Channel your energy to your business please.

helinues:
I really don't get it why some of you are not even consciously aware about how casted you have been with your years of lies on this forum.

Don't you have a state of origin or you flew from the sky to mother earth?

Which should be your priorities, your place of residence or your state of origin

chatinent:
You feed on lies, politics and tribalism and you have started believing your lies that you'd think everyone is you.

Apart from being an indigene of Lagos, I am also a Nigerian. You have no right to teach me what I should talk about. Focus on your tribal politics.

Have a nice year.

Lagos was once the capital of Nigeria and will never be anybodys. Live with it

The day APC loses Lagos guber election, Nigerians will know how much the state is truly worth

HacheNoire:
Lagosians are like MAGA!

They will keep quite and support their incompetence just to despise their enemy

What did the last budget achieve? Looting upon looting!

9jatriot:
Lagos is always the pace setter in Nigeria. You hardly hear other states doing anything serious.

Meanwhile, one so-called state governor in Rivers State has never submitted budget to his HOA since 2023 under the guise of fighting the members of the HOA and his predecessor.
To hear that he is even an accountant is even more frustrating.

The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”

While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.

He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’
