Lagos IGR Rises By N32.99bn — Higher Than 33 States Put Together by SuperS1Panther: 11:32pm On Mar 15, 2017
The internally generated revenue (IGR) of Lagos state rose by approximately N33 billion from 2015 to 2016, beating 33 states put together.

According to a report by the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI), the state recorded an IGR of N301.19 billion, a rise of N32.99 billion in one year.

The total IGR from 33 states of the federation, excluding Delta, Ogun and Rivers states stood at N299 billion — over a billion less than Lagos IGR.

Delta, Ogun and Rivers raked in N44.89 billion, N56.30 billion and N82.10 billion respectively.

Like his predecessors, Bola Tinubu and Babatunde Fashola, Akinwunmi Ambode, governor of Lagos state,  has at various times committed himself to the generation of IGR in the state.

The NEITI report, which reviewed disbursements from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) for the fourth quarter of 2016, also showed that Lagos received N109 billion in 2016.

The agency lamented low revenue generation across 34 states, citing Lagos and Ogun as the only states generating more than what they get from the central.

“IGR is very low in most states and it is only in two states – Lagos and Ogun – that IGR is higher than FAAC allocations. The figure shows that total revenue by itself cannot fund states budgets,” it said.

NEITI said the three tiers of government shared N5.121 trillion through 2016 — a decline from 2015 figures.

“Total disbursements fell by 14.8% from N6.011 trillion for the year 2015 to N5.121 trillion for the 2016. In Q1 2016, total disbursements were N1.132 trillion as against N1.648 trillion in Q1 2015, a decline of 31.2% in Q1 2016,” NEITI said.

“Total disbursements fell by 26.9% from N1.241 trillion in Q2 2015 to N906 billion in Q2 2016. There was a further decline in Q3 when total disbursements dropped by 7.8% from N1.887 trillion in 2015 to N1.738 trillion 2016.

“However, total disbursements increased in Q4 by 8.8% from N1.233 trillion in 2015 to N1.343 trillion in 2016.”

The report revealed that “the federal government received a total of N2.08 trillion from the federation account in 2016, which represents a drop of 19.9% of the total N2.6 trillion received in 2015.”

The 2016 budget was for N6.06 trillion, implying that at N2.08 trillion, total FAAC disbursements were only 34.3 percent of the budget.

“Thus, the federal government would have to resort to even higher debts to fund the budget. The implication of this is that debt service payments, which accounted for 24.3% of the 2016 budget, would increase.”

Lagos and Ogun should merge to form a country.

What could be the probable name of such a country? ---- LagOg.

I am not surprised, a state that has the major airport station in the country, a state where major multinational companies are house, an oil producing state, a state which is overpopulated and the gov't decided decided to use tax as a means of generating revenues, a state where almost everything has a value added cost on goods and service. If a state has all these characteristics and it's backward, then that state should be questioned based on it monthly cash flow .

The location of Lagos is in no doubt at good advantage to it development.

I won't deny the fact that Lagos have numerous advantages due to the location of lndustries all over it land mass, but I will also say the truth by applauding the present and past government on their viable policies toward the moving forward of Lagos.

It's no surprise, Lagos is the commercial capital of Nigeria. I just hope there are commensurate developments and projects in place to help ease things. . . We're tired of the agbero-filled Lagos ooo... Government should do something about it.

Yes they would most likely. They are also only state that managed to generate more IGR than Allocation.

This is an eye opener to the FG

kudos to Lagos for taxing anything taxable,even a qiosk owner in computer village is paying tax not to talk about all the multinationals that have their head offices in Lagos.

if Ekiti or osun want to Generate IGR who will they task ? the famers or the hunters?

if bayelsa , delta want to Generate IGR who will they task ? fishermen or militants?

what am saying is every fire power of a country is concentrated in Lagos alone which is not good for massive and even development among the states of the federation.

Lagos and Ogun state having industries and head offices coupled with massive migration from other states make them at the advantage and nothing special.

FG should give attentions to other states and by then we won't be having 20millon people in Lagos and 1million ,or even 500 thousands from osun and ekiti respectively.

Nigeria will progress in an unprecedented manner the day we vote a Lagos state governor as president of this country!
