Ondo State’s 2025 budget of ₦698.7 billion allocates ₦6 billion for a new Governor’s Lodge and banquet hall, ₦1 billion for a new Governor’s Office, and over ₦3 billion for vehicles for state lawmakers.
Critics question the prioritization of these expenditures amid limited funds and poor infrastructure. The state struggles with essential needs, as 66% of households lack sanitation and 51% lack clean water.
Concerns highlight the need for better resource management and investment in critical infrastructure.
