 Law Reform Commission Hosts Stakeholder Forum on Advancing Lagos’ Fiscal Sustainability.


The Lagos State Law Reform Commission has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening the State’s fiscal foundation through modern, transparent, and future-driven legislation.


This commitment was showcased at the Engagement Forum on Advancing the State’s Fiscal Sustainability Through Law Reform, which convened key stakeholders across Lagos’ fiscal ecosystem.


In her welcome remarks, the Executive Secretary, Mrs. Oluyemisi Ogunlola, emphasized that “law reform is a catalyst for fiscal transformation,” noting that Lagos must modernize and harmonize its revenue laws to sustain growth in a rapidly evolving megacity. She highlighted the need to digitize revenue systems, block leakages, broaden the tax base, and deepen inter-agency coordination.


Delivering a keynote address, the Hon. Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Lawal Pedro (SAN), reiterated the commitment of the Lagos State Government to promoting good governance through efficient and robust legal frameworks. He underscored the vital partnership between the Ministry of Justice, LAWRECOM, and the Office of the Special Adviser on Taxation and Revenue.


The Special Adviser on Taxation and Revenue, Mr. Abdul-Kabir Opeyemi Ogungbo, described fiscal sustainability as “the lifeblood of effective governance,” stressing that well-crafted laws and regulatory reforms are essential to securing Lagos State’s economic future.


The Guest Speaker, Professor Emmanuel E. Okon, Director of Research at the Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, stated that “fiscal sustainability begins with legal sustainability,” highlighting the indispensable role of strong legal and institutional frameworks in supporting modern fiscal policy.


The engagement which was held at the STATE TREASURY OFFICE (STO) RESOURCE CENTER, Alausa, Ikeja, on Monday 20th of October 2025, aligns with the THEMES+ Agenda and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), reinforcing Lagos State’s commitment to building a transparent, accountable, and future-ready fiscal system.


The Commission will continue to engage, collaborate, and innovate—because Lagos must not only grow; it must lead.

The future is Lagos.
