The Lagos State House of Assembly has passed the N2.267 trillion 2024 budget presented by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on December 13 last year.

The budget, comprising 58 per cent capital expenditure and 42 per cent recurrent expenditure, was approved after a unanimous voice vote by the lawmakers.

The Speaker of the House Mudashiru Obasa, during the budget passage, said the government should ensure a functional budget.

“Palliatives should move from just giving people garri, rice, beans or even money. We should have a direction that is focused, impactful and deeply backed up by effective policy implementations.

“For instance, in the name of palliative care, let there be provision of drugs at all public hospitals at subsidised rates. At the same time, focus should be on a downward review of treatment costs in these hospitals”.
