The Lagos State Government has the potential to generate N50bn monthly as internal revenue, Governor Akinwumi Ambode said on Friday in Lagos.

Ambode made this known at a colloquium on the state of the nation, organised in Ikoyi, Lagos, by the Coalition of Nigerian Apostolic Leaders.

CNAL is an affiliate and the Nigerian arm of the International Coalition of Apostolic Leaders.

The governor was represented by the state Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Mr. Akinyemi Ashade.

He said that whatever the state was realising at the moment as internally generated revenue was only 65 per cent of what it could achieve.

Ambode said that the state government had the population and the youth to achieve the target and was working on critical policy objectives that would unlock the state’s potential to build a more vibrant economy.

He noted that the economic challenges in Nigeria were affecting Lagos State, but said that the state was re-strategising.

The governor said that the economic challenges in the country, drop in crude oil production and fall in Naira value, should provide a golden opportunity for the country to re-strategise to build a sustainable economy.

Ambode said the recent declaration by the International Monetary Fund that Nigeria has regained its position as the biggest economy in Africa should be a harbinger of hope of a better Nigeria.

He gave the assurance that the state government would soon complete the blue rail light project, and bridges at Abule Egba and Agege, among other capital projects.

The Minister of Information, Culture and National Orientation, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said at the occasion that corruption was Nigeria’s major problem.

He said that the Federal Government had made efforts to communicate effectively with the citizens to enable them to understand the cause of the current economic situation and its efforts to tackle them

He said, “We have held town hall meetings. We have launched Change Begins with Me. It is about all of us. We must be the change we desire.”

The minister said that a major challenge faced by government was misleading information placed on social media by unpatriotic Nigeria to counter government information.

He said, “They counter us, using social media. This is a challenge. They fill the atmosphere with their own version of information.”

Mohammed said that it was necessary for the Federal Government to get feedback from the citizens.

He said, “That is why forums like this are important.”

The Presiding Apostle, NCAL, Pastor Wale Adefasarin, said that economic crunch in Nigeria had made many citizens to ask “is this the change we voted for?”

He said, “Nigeria faces daunting challenges with attendant job loss, closure of industries, loss in Naira value, etc. Will Naira regain its value? How do our youths get jobs? “

He said that coalition believed it had a role to play.

He said, “We stand as partners in the Nigerian enterprise. The church can champion transformation. How can we support this transformation? We need to know.”

Lol. Yet it's not reflecting in Igbo states IGR? What about the North where una boku? Why e no reflect in those states IGR as well? Smh. Maybe your governors should go to Ambode for tutelage on how he is maximizing those igbo traders you claim are 'umpiring Nigeria commerce', since the ones trading in your region are apparently prettymuch useless. You lots are just a bunch of loud-mouthed, delusional and empty chest-beating clowns.

yea any government that ignore Igbo traders is during that at the rick of it economy , apart from Lagos which we all know it come about is there any state in south west that can compete with any eastern state in terms of development and standard of living, The fact that the igbos were able to rise from the ashes of the civil war with just 20 pounds to bear a collection of Nigeria's most modern cities and people is just a testament of our mental superiority. Go to places that were not touched by a single bomb at all, and all you see are brown roofs, polio, poverty, mass illiteracy,religious fanaticism, backward socialism. God bless ndi-igbo....

You folks keep deluding yourselves. Which development or standard of living are you yapping about please?? No be your people dey flee your region to the same SW for econmic survical?? If your standard of living is so great and you all are so developed, why do you keep constituting an economic nuisance and burden in other regions? Ogun state doesn't have igbo traders like Anambra or Enugu yet its last IGR was more than double those of Anambra and Enugu combined. Just CityView estate at Arepo, Ogun state alone floors all the mediocre buildings you all bandy about and mast.ur.bate over here. Some of us aren't as insecure as you lots who have to resort to dick-measuring to feel important, no time for that. Guy, go and play with your toy abeg.

lol if we check very well 98% of shop owners in those mall u posted here are all Igbo's... Igbo's are travellers any where in this part of the world u did not find 1or 3 Igbo men please run for ur dear life that please is no go area, in such a short time that within
three short decades the Igbos had
closed the gap and quickly moved
ahead as the group with the
highest literacy rate, the highest
standard of living, and the
greatest of citizens with
postsecondary education in
Nigeria, earlier advantage
of Yoruba as contingent on their
location on the coastline, but once
the missionaries crossed the
Niger, the Igbo took advantage of
the opportunity and overtook the
Yoruba. the Igbo
overcame the earlier Yoruba
advantage within two decades
earlier in the twentieth century.
“Although the Yoruba had a huge
historical and geographical head
start, the Igbo wiped out their
handicap in one fantastic burst of
energy in the twenty years
between 1930 and 1950.” the
fear of the Igbos. They envy the
Igbos who have done the
impossible – standing up to their
enemies; and exercising their
inalienable rights to self
preservation....

lol how many Yoruba's can afford to live in such comfort u can't nah, such complex are meant for industrious hard working Igbo's ,
The Igbo ethnic nationality
of Nigeria are the most
technologically advanced Black
race on planet earth, bar none!
This is a fact. A fact that was
proven to be true for 30 months
while they were landlocked in
their constantly shrinking enclave
known as Biafra.
Cut off from the rest of the world,
the ingenuity of the Igbo came to
the fore during the civil war as
they constructed the Uli airstrip
and when that airstrip was
bombed, they repaired it in record
time and under the most trying
circumstances. They would go on
to repair Uli not once and not
twice.
The Igbos refined petrol from a
variety of non fossil fuels,
including from but not limited to
palm products (from which they
also produced diesel) and
manufactured surface to air
missiles which they also adapted
to surface to surface missiles
(theOgbunigwe).
They converted commercial planes
to fighter jets and weaponized
them. That was no mean feat in
1967.
In fact, when in 2012, the Nigerian
Army rolled out the igirigi and
promoted it as the first indigenous
armored personnel carrier, they
were wrong.

A Yoruba man would rather rent
a one-room apartment or go back
to his village than pay 400-500k
for a 2-bedroom flat in Lagos.
Nigerians have known Yoruba's
shiftiness and two sided loud-
mouthing. I have said somewhere few days
ago, that Mgbatis are ball-stripped
and cannot do a shit in defense of
themselves the way the Iyamirins
did it earlier when the Fulanis,
Hausas and the Yorubas
determined to eliminate the Igbo
tribe out of existence. Any Nigerian that has known the
Yorubas or lived with them would
wonder when a Yoruba could be
trusted to mean what they say or
do what they mean or be brave
enough like the Igbos to affect a
physical threat...Tufiakwa

No body is fleeing the east for south west and no body ever will igbos come to
Lagos because of the over centralisation of Nigeria's diplomatic offices, consular offices, Nigeria deep ports, Nigeria maritime offixes, as igbos move for a deep sea port in Akwa ibom and Bayelsa, all these will change
