This study on Nigeria Lagos State,
states finances review and agenda for action reviews Lagos
State's fiscal performance in recent years, highlight
the main risks that may affect the fiscal outlook in the
medium term, and help the Lagos State Government (LASG)
develop an agenda for deepening the reforms in key aspects
of public finance management (PFM) and service delivery,
based on further analytical work. The quality of information
has unfortunately been a constraint in this study. It
affected the ability of the study team to make relevant
observations and policy recommendations, in particular on
the expenditure side. The data limitation also suggests that
the first priorities for the government in PFM reform should
be extending the coverage of the budget, improving the
classification system, and reporting revenues and
expenditures accurately and transparently.
