This infographic powerfully contrasts the allocation of resources in Lagos, revealing a stark disparity between the funding for lawmakers and the healthcare sector. The 2026 budget allocates ₦87 billion for 40 lawmakers, while the entire healthcare budget for Lagos, serving over 20 million people, is only ₦68 billion. The takeaway is a sharp critique of priorities, emphasizing that this is not just a matter of symbolism but a glaring arithmetic of misallocation, demanding immediate attention to the underfunding of healthcare for the state’s population.

This visual effectively underscores the need for a re-evaluation of spending priorities to support public health and ensure equitable resource distribution.
