Lagos State House of Assembly passes the 2026 Budget Reordering Bill, approving a revised total budget of N4.445 trillion (N4.445tn). The decision follows a review presented to lawmakers as a reordering of the state’s 2026 spending plan.
Premium Times and The Punch both report that the reordering is linked to differences in how capital projects are implemented across ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs). Premium Times notes that the relevant committee chairman, Olumoh Sa’ad, says the review reflects variations in execution of capital projects among the MDAs. The Punch similarly states that the bill is presented by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and that it results in the increase to the stated total.
While both outlets agree on the bill’s approval and the revised budget figure, they emphasize different details: one highlights the committee explanation around capital project implementation, while the other focuses on the passage of the bill and the governor’s role in presenting it.
