While presenting the budget to the House of Assembly, he said the budget was for the good of Lagosians, hence, the name, “The Peoples Budget”.
Next year's budget shows a 26% increase, compared to 2014 and 2015 budgets.

Governor Ambode says this is due to his administration's plan to eliminate traffic and insecurity in the state.
“The increase will enable our government to focus on the present challenges of security, traffic gridlock resolution including physical and social infrastructural development which has thrown up new challenges quite different from what we used to experience and have always known.”
