Dignitaries at the event included Deputy Governor, Dr Obafemi Hamzat; members of the State Executive Council; Head of Service, Bode Agoro; lawmakers of 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 crafted to drive inclusive growth and improve the living standards of residents.

“Our mission remains clear: to eradicate poverty and build a Lagos that works for all,” the governor said.

He added that the administration’s vision continued to shape fiscal decisions aimed at delivering a Greater Lagos where shared prosperity is tangible and widely felt.

Sanwo-Olu said the budget is anchored on four pillars — a human-centred approach, modern infrastructure, a thriving economy and effective governance — in line with the state’s T.H.E.M.E.S+ development agenda.
