The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has called on the state’s House of Assembly to pass the appropriation bill presented by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu last week into law.
The state Publicity Secretary, Mr Seye Oladejo, said this in a statement on Monday, adding that the ‘Budget of Consolidation’ had projected the present administration as focused in its determination to fulfil its electoral promises.
He said, “The formal presentation to the Lagos State House of Assembly of the 2022 budget estimates of the Lagos State Government aptly christened ‘Budget of Consolidation’ underscored the unwavering commitment of the state government to annex the gains of the first half of this tenure, ensure the completion of all on-going projects and tackle head-long the identified mutual challenges of our teeming population.
“As the governor has presented the ‘Year 2022 Budget of Consolidation,’ with a budget size of N1, 388, 285, 459, 990.50 before the Lagos State House of Assembly, we call on the House of Assembly in its usual tradition, to pass the appropriation bill into law in good time to enable the completion of on going projects, initiation of new ones and a strong finish for an already glorious tenure. “
Oladejo also appealed to Lagosians to protect and judiciously use the various projects delivered by the government.
“As the state government strives to do more in the next fiscal year, it is expedient that all Lagosians claim ownership of the various delivered projects by ensuring their judicious use and protect them from abuse.
“We all have the civic responsibility to pay our taxes as at when due and remain our neighbours’ keeper,” he added.
