According to the breakdown, the proposed budget allocates:
N624.76 billion for recurrent expenditure, covering salaries, overheads, and essential government operations.
N1.044 trillion for capital projects aimed at completing ongoing works, initiating new developmental projects, and boosting economic growth.
The governor stressed that the budget focuses on sustaining long-term progress while addressing critical needs such as road infrastructure, health, education, security, and rural development. He reiterated the administration’s determination to deliver projects that will firmly position Ogun State as a leading investment destination in Nigeria.
The Appropriation Bill will now undergo legislative review and approval by the State House of Assembly before implementation in January 2026.
This major fiscal move signals Ogun State’s drive towards sustainable growth, improved public services, and enhanced livelihood for its citizens.
