The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) says the 36 states of the federation and the federal capital territory (FCT) recorded N1.92 trillion in internally generated revenue (IGR) in 2022.

According to the IGR report on Monday, compared to the N1.89 trillion IGR recorded in 2021, last year’s figure indicates a sluggish growth of 2 percent year-on-year.

Analysis by TheCable Index shows Lagos state had the highest IGR with N651.15 billion, representing 34 percent of the total IGR in 2022.

When compared to the N753.46 billion generated in 2021, the revenue generated by Lagos state decreased by 14 percent.

Lagos was followed by Rivers with N172.8 billion; FCT with N124.4 billion; Ogun with N120.6 billion; and Delta with N85.9 billion.

Kebbi state, on the other hand, generated the least IGR (N9.15 billion) in 2022, followed by Taraba with N10.23 billion, Yobe with N10.46 billion and Ebonyi with N12.4 billion.

SOUTH-WEST OUTPACES OTHER ZONES


The NBS report shows south-west with N908.25 billion topped other zones to record the highest IGR turnover in 2023; followed by the south-south zone with N377.9 billion.

North-central followed closely with N246.4 billion; north-west generated N186.4 billion; south-east N114.5 billion; and north-east zone closed the year with N92 billion.

Further analysis of the report showed that Lagos state generated 72 percent of the entire IGR of the south-west and 34 percent of Nigeria’s total IGR.

Despite the decrease in Lagos state’s IGR, the state recorded higher IGR (N651.15 billion) compared to the figure generated by the entire northern states (N524.83 billion) and more than that of the south-south and south-east regions (N492.53 billion) combined.

Those leading are still leading.

Federal allocation, IGR and crime stats are the most reliable data from Nigeria. Unemployment, population, food consumption, GDP, etc. are based on fake estimates.

By the way, the IGR of Ebonyi State was N12.4 billion per annum, and Dave Umahi went ahead to build an airport instead of using the money to empower the people. This is the perfect definition of misplaced priority.

Osun and Ekiti are performing poorly because they fail to invest in their economy. Commercial Agriculture and EXPORT oriented Businesses would have tripled their IGR within a reasonable period of time.

80% of Lagos IGR should be shared amongst the 36 states

Being a former federal capital, the nation's common wealth was used to develop Lagos


I MEAN AS RECENTLY AS UP TO 1991, LAGOS WAS THE FEDERAL CAPITAL WITH ALL THE MAJOR LANDMARKS BUILT WITH COMMON WEALTH BELONGING TO THE ENTIRE NATION

Osun is not that low sha.
Take for instance, Anambra with about 9 million population generates about 30bn while osun with about 4 million population generates around same.

Majority of SW population is concentrated in Lagos, Oyo and Ogun

Lagos is indeed the Center of Excellence

Ok

Vultures would gather here. Lagos is flesh to them that they must consumed

Even Osun had a higher IGR than Anambra

How much more Oyo, Ogun and Ondo

Ogun State has a higher IGR than all the states in the SE put together

The almajiri SE states can’t survive without allocation from the FG

See where Anambra’s from consumption to production has led them 😂

Where does BuGiT get their data from?

Stop sharing this NONSENSE here.

Even Osun is bigger than Akwa Ibom, Delta and Edo. In your dreams!

IGR figures should come from various state tax offices, not some funny data BUGIT or whatever generated.

Post your contrary figures with your evidence or continue to bask in your ignorance

So the money that the state is making now which the indigines aren't benefiting from isn't serious money?

The news you reacted to has already indicted you, so I don't have to post anything else. Compare your percentage for Lagos in the news and that nonsense you are sharing. No need to waste my time on you, so I won't reply you again.

Nice

Kudos to all those developing lagos.

Na wa O. Lagos alone over 600 Billion . It should be a country on its own. How much is the budget of Togo & benin republic again.

Less than 2 trillion in a full year
