The governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, has finally presented a budget of 852.13 to the Lagos State House of Assembly for approval.
Governor Ambode recently came under threat of impeachment by state lawmakers over non-presentation of budget.
The proposed budget is lower than that of last year which was 1.046 trillion naira.
Speaking, Ambode said the shortfall in the 2019 budget was due to the poor performance of 2018 budget.
He said: “The overall 2018 budget stood at 60 per cent and that was put into consideration in preparing the 2019.
“The 2019 budget is all encompassing and it will cater for all Lagosians”, he added.
