The recently commissioned world class Oshodi Transport Interchange and high and medium capacity buses for public transportation in Lagos by President Muhammadu Buhari is in danger if what transpired during debate on the report of the Appropriation committee of the Lagos State House of Assembly and subsequent passage of the budget on Monday is anything to go by.
Part of the recommendation of the committee as contained in the report was that the money budgeted for completion of the projects should be deleted from the 2019 budget, which would have meant stalling or stopping work outright on the projects. Former Chairman of the Appropriation committee, Hon. Rotimi Olowo, who spoke after Abiru supported the suggestion.
Our investigations revealed that the lawmakers took this step because, according to them, the two projects are alien or unknown to the House. “So what the House did in the last budget, there were some expenditures that we put under special expenditure fund because we needed more information on these projects which was not given to us when we were working on the budget and this two projects fall into that category.
It is these same projects that the executive is making request for further funding in the 2019 budget which the House has declined.
