This Report discloses the Financial Performance and State of Affairs of the LASG. The Financial Statements of LASG for the year ended 31 December 2017 have been prepared on an accrual basis in line with the requirements of International Public Sector Accounting Standards 33 (IPSAS 33) ‘First-time Adoption of Accrual Basis IPSAS’. LASG has elected to adopt the accrual-based International Public Sector Accounting Standards with effect from 1 January 2016 and has committed to its full adoption by 31 December 2018. The adoption of IPSAS has further enhanced the State Government’s transparency and accountability in financial reporting. This is not only evident in the financial ratings, but also in the number of request for partnership the Government has received on infrastructure projects and service delivery since the First Transitional Accrual IPSAS Financial Statements of the State was published. For instance, despite the unfavourable economic situation, the State has continued to maintain a positive rating. In the latest Fitch ratings issued in February 2018, Fitch affirmed the State’s Long-Term Foreign and Local Currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) at 'B+' with Negative Outlook and Short-Term Foreign Currency IDR at 'B'. Lagos being a subnational is affected by the rating of the Sovereign, Nigeria. The 2017 fiscal year started with some macro-economic problems, which included economic recession and high inflation rate. Following the turbulent economic tide of the year 2016 which led to Nigeria sliding into recession, the country bounced back to positive growth in the second quarter of 2017. By December 2017, inflation rate had reduced to 16.5% from 18.72%. There was annual growth rate in real GDP of 0.47% compared to -0.22% in 2016, with the non-oil sector being one of the major economic booster. The improvement in Nigeria’s economic fortunes later in the year 2017, impacted LASG’s income from statutory allocation, positively. As one of the economically viable States in the country, with major reliance on Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), LASG has consistently demonstrated foresight for revenue generation. The impressive performance recorded by the State Government in 2017 is not unconnected with the effective IGR collection system put in place, hence, reducing the impact of the economic recession experienced in the first half of the year. The year ended 31 December 2017 witnessed the celebration of the Golden Jubilee of Lagos State. The State Government marked the event with the commissioning of some landmark projects. Specifically, on May 16th, His Excellency, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode commissioned at Ojodu Berger, a N5.8billion project which included the 98 metres illuminated pedestrian bridge (the longest in Nigeria) and 150 metres length laybys and slip roads. Also, May 17th saw the commissioning of the Abule-egba and Ajah Jubilee flyover bridges at costs of N7.2billion and N11.8billion respectively. Every part of the State felt the wind of celebration, as completed projects were commissioned across the State. In line with LASG’s focus on the welfare of Lagosians and development of the State, other projects like the Bus Reform Project, Low Energy Design (LED) Manufacturing Plant, Rice Equipment Mill, Pen Cinema Fly-over Bridge, upgrade of sports facilities, Primary Health Care centres, parks and gardens including economic empowerment programs were birthed in 2017. On-going upgrade of the Agege and Onikan Stadia has so far cost N1.7billion while the Primary Healthcare Centres across the State, have been renovated at an amount of N335million. The Lagos Digital Project was also initiated to increase access to knowledge and run an inclusive educational system. The sum of N4.3billion was spent in 2017. During the Year 2017, His Excellency, the Governor, in recognition of the changing role of Accounts Officers Statewide, approved their re-designation to Finance and Accounts Officers thus facilitating capacity building in different areas of Public Finance Management. This has improved the level of awareness and competence among accountants

In defining stage lighting, Reid3 summarized the main aims of lighting for theatrical productions thus: Stage lighting is a fluid, selective, atmospheric, sculptural illumination appropriate to the style of a particular production. Reid's definition prescribes the primary functions of stage lighting - and accepted by most writers on the subject — as illumination, selectivity, fluidity, atmosphere, mood, dimensionality and creating effects. It was not until recently that the functions of stage lighting were further elaborated upon.

  • Nigerian Media, Indigenous Languages and Sustainable Development
    Nigerian Media, Indigenous Languages and Sustainable Development Harrison and Rachael Lagos State University, Nigeria 1. Introduction The idea of a global village, the aspiration of man at this jet age, is aided not only by the Internet, but also more seriously by other types of media. Thus, man, through the media, can get what language form, fashion, music etc are in vogue. In little or no time through our listening to the radio set or watching the television set, we could get to do what others are doing. The media, therefore, become a fast means through which we could get anything promoted. The objective of this paper is to examine the role of the media in the development or otherwise of Nigerian languages. We trace such contributions to the developmental stage the country, at present, finds herself. Development in this study covers a number of concepts, which range from education, social, cultural, to indigenous linguistic maturity. For the study therefore, we examine the radio and television programmes of two media houses each from inception to date. We see how these organisations have consciously or otherwise promoted or chocked the language and consequently culture, through their programmes. We link such positions to the people’s mental and social developments. The study is anchored on Gerhard Leitner’s The Sociolinguistics of Communication Media. Geshard Leitner based his work on address media in the context of the communication dominion. He reveals what performance is, what parameters are that determine its norms. He equally looks at the functions the media aims to fulfill in the society.
