This section of the infographic showcases an open letter addressing the proposed 2026 Lagos State Budget. The letter highlights significant errors and inaccuracies in the budget presentation, including discrepancies in the total budget figures and sectoral allocations. Funso Doherty, the writer, points out the misclassification of funds (e.g., mislabeling capital as recurrent expenditure) and the lack of fiscal transparency and accountability in the budget process. This highlights the need for a thorough review and greater transparency to ensure proper allocation of resources, particularly in crucial areas like healthcare.
This inclusion emphasizes the need for proper fiscal management and the fight for equitable distribution of funds to critical sectors, reinforcing the message of accountability for public health and government spending.
