AMBODE COMMENDED ON IMPROVED HEALTH BUDGET

-           Lagos State Governor, Akinwumi Ambode has been commended for giving priority to the health sector in the 2016 budgetary allocation of the state.

-          Nigeria Network of Non-Governmental Organisations (NNNGOs) gave the commendation in Lagos, stating that the health sector in the state got about 9.6% of the budget which is higher than the 2014 and 2015 allocation.

-          The Secretary General of NNNGOs, Bar. Ayo Adebusoye, during a quarterly CS media forum  organized by Devcoms Network tasked the Governor to ensure more transparency in the budget implementation.

-          However, he said efforts by the state government may have little or no impact if health authorities are not appointed into local government and local council areas across the state.
