Lagos Spends N9bn on Lawmakers’ Cars While Schools Crumble

For eight years, Lagos State has touted education as a top priority. Yet classrooms are decaying and sometimes collapse under students’ feet. In the 2025 budget, the government allocated N9 billion for vehicles and zero for key school repairs. Planned renovations at LASU and vocational centers received no funding. Although N23.16 billion was budgeted for education, just 2.7% was released in the first quarter. SUBEB got only N205,000 and the library board received nothing. The fallout is severe. Over half of Lagos’s sponsored students failed WASSCE this year. Building collapses and teacher strikes are now routine, putting a generation’s future at risk.
