Lagos Budget: Allegation by state govt baseless — Lawmakers
THE Lagos State House of Assembly, yesterday, described the allegation by the state government that its refused to form a statutory quorum to receive the 2019 Appropriation Bill as baseless and does not hold water.
Recall that the State Government had accused the Assembly for delaying the presentation of 2019 Appropriation Bill.
Reacting to the allegations, some lawmakers, who spoke with Vanguard on the condition of anonymity, said the House has not relented to discharge its statutory obligations in the business of law making.
The lawmakers accused the state government for failing to follow the tradition of budget presentation as provided by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
