He emphasized the need for innovation, accountability, and creativity in revenue generation, noting that the Ogun State Internal Revenue Service (OGIRS) would be responsible for ₦250 billion, while other revenue-yielding MDAs are expected to contribute the remaining ₦250 billion.
In the opening remarks, Hon. Prince Okubadejo reaffirmed the State Government’s unwavering commitment to transparency, efficiency, and accountability in fiscal governance.

Commending the MDAs for their professionalism throughout the budget preparation process, the Commissioner urged them to defend their proposals with clarity, data, and measurable outcomes to ensure effective budget implementation. He stressed that collective effort remains key to aligning fiscal priorities with the State’s broader developmental objectives.
