However, 2019 served parents, teachers and studentss with an unforeseen “wait time” for the exam to hold due to the delayed passage of the Lagos State 2019 budget. The Lagos State House of Assembly passed it on April 30, 2019. Prior to this, Lagos State traditionally used to be one of the first Nigerian states to propose, present, pass and sign its budget into law. Invariably, the state assembly referred to send the budget to Ambode to sign and was only transmitted to Sanwo-Olu after he was sworn in as the state governor. But findings by The Guardian indicates that the delay in the passage of the budget halted the commencement of the exam.
