Lagos State came into being through a Federal Edict on May 27, 1967, and Health was one of the Ministries with which it took off. The Ministry was formerly charged with responsibility for both health and social welfare. The latter has since been excised, rejoined, and eventually excised from the Ministry such that the Social Welfare Division is presently under the Ministry of Youth and Social Development.
