However, the Lagos State Government reportedly disclosed that it was pleased to continue to access the domestic debt markets, given the very strong support garnered over the last twelve (12) years from the investor community. It added that the state had been able to access much needed complementary funding, which had been used to augment the state’s revenues and provide the critical support required to accelerate and actualize the provision of physical and social infrastructure/amenities.
