Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has presented a N1.67 trillion Appropriation Bill for 2026 to the state assembly, describing it as a “Budget of Sustainable Legacy.” He said the proposal is anchored on continuity and long-term development, projecting N509.88bn in internally generated revenue and N554.81bn from federal allocations, with capital receipts estimated at N518.90bn.

The spending plan allocates 63% of expenditure to capital projects, including major road construction, school rehabilitation, a state banquet hall, upgrades to key government facilities, and the Olokola Deep Sea Port. Sectoral allocations prioritise infrastructure, education, and health.

Abiodun highlighted key achievements from the current fiscal year and expressed confidence that the 2026 plan will advance sustainable growth. Speaker Oludaisi Elemide praised improvements to the assembly complex and called for financial autonomy, more staff, and timely budget submissions from MDAs.
