[size=8pt][size=8pt]The Seven States that cannot Survive Without Federal Allocation, According to Economic Confidential

The Annual States Viability Index (ASVI) released by Economic Confidential, an intelligence magazine, shows that seven (7) states are insolvent as their Internally Generated Revenues (IGR) in 2019 were far below 10 per cent of their receipts from the Federation Account Allocations (FAA) in the same year. This simply means that these seven 7 states remain unviable, and cannot survive without the monthly disbursement from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC).The seven states may not survive without the Federation Account due to their extremely poor internal revenue generation of less than 10% compared to their federal allocations.

Surprisingly, Katsina, the home state of President Muhammadu Buhari top the list of states that generated the poorest and lowest IGR compared to its federal allocation in 2019. The state generated a meagre sum of N8bn whereas it received a total of N136bn from the Federation Account Allocation (FAA) in 2019. That comparison suggests that the state's internally generated revenue is 6% of the the money it received from the federal coffer. Kebbi came second with N7.3bn IGR compared to FAA of N100bn and representing 7%; Borno had N8bn compared to FAA of N121bn, representing 7% and Taraba with IGR of N6.5bn compared to N86bn of FAA representing 8%.

The Index also indicates that Lagos state alone had more Internally Generated Revenues than 20 states combined.

Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, Kwara, Kaduna, and Enugu States are classified by Economic Confidential as Rich/Economic Viable States, while, as stated earlier, Katsina, Kebbi, Borno, Bayelsa, and Taraba States were categorized as insolent/poor IGR states.

The Economic Confidential listed factors that could be responsible for the low IGR to include lack of initiatives for revenue generation drive coupled with what it termed "arm-chair governance". Other factor is low investment attraction due to socio-political and economic crises including but not limited to insurgency, kidnapping, armed-banditry and herdsmen-farmers clashes.

Unfortunately, the Economic Confidential Annual States Viability Index further showed that Kwara, Kaduna and Kano States are the only three states in the entire Northern region that have IGR above 20% in comparison to their respective allocations from the Federation Account.

Meanwhile, Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, Enugu, Ondo, Edo, Delta, Anambra, Cross River and Delta States are the ten states in the South that recorded over 20% IGR in 2019.

Without sounding too technical, what Economic Confidential does is to look at the internally generated revenue of all the 36 states of the federation and the FCT and compares it with the money they received from the federation account to first determine if there has been improvement in the state's IGR and secondly to study the viability or survivability of each state. It equally examines the factor or factors responsible for the increase or decrease in their viability, and recommend solutions. In this year's Annual States Viability Index (ASVI) for the period of 2019, there was generally a significant improvement. For instance, in 2019 only seven out of the 36 states and the FCT had less than 10 per cent Internally Generated Revenue compared to 17 states recorded in 2018.

The Economic Confidential has recommended that the IGR of the respective states could still be improved through aggressive diversification of the economy to other productive sectors.

Do you think Nigeria can survive without oil?

The situation is grim.

Upon say markets and industries full Abia, I no see am for this list.. Chai, see what bad governance had done to us

How can a state be generating #8billion naira in a year

I'm sure katsina will have nothing less than 5 people on that Nigerian Navy supplementary list that was released by Sahara reporter.

I just hope a southerner that is serious about restructuring Nigeria becomes the president in 2023. Is either we restructure Nigeria or make we divide. The North will have to choose one.

Enough of this madness.

This country is stagnated, there is very few positive change I can point at in Nigeria from 1999 till 2021.

Why are southern politicians not saying anything about the supplementary list released by the Nigerian Navy sef Is a very provocating supplementary list by the Nigerian Navy. The Chief of Naval staff needs to be summon by the National Assembly.

The National Assembly can't just ask for the process to be stop without summoning the Chief of Naval staff for questioning that will be aired live on local TV for Nigerians to know why the Chief of Navy staff did such a thing.

Making noise for nothing, enraged out of ethno-religious hatred. Supplementary list is nothing if there is no reason to replace the candidates from the main list. NN, NAF do their recruitments on equal basis to all states.
Stop this nonsense, no Politician care for ur life, ur religion or tribe all they care abt is their greed. Religious fanaticism is for poor people like u, who only want to see humans against their fellow human!

Akwa Ibom, Abia And Kogi States. What Can We Talk About.

now that it is favouring you..you now know that politicians don't care for him...don't cry when the table turns..
Fear God oooo

Imagine if we restructure this country and stop this feeding bottle arrangements, many people won't dare to contest for an election.

I can't imagine sharing a country with none productive cows feeding fat on resources from the South, yet claiming to be Lords over southerners.


God bless MNK

It's a lie all the states can mostly the North they have millions of people don't day? So since they have a majority of the population, if we tax everyone of them including beggers if they can vote they can pay tax then problem solved.

Since 1999.....out of 22 years , southerners rules for 14
Since 1999.....out of 22 years PDP ruled for 16

IF YOU HAVE VERY FEW POSITIVE THINGS TO POINT TO SINCE 1999...THEN LOOK NO FURTHER THAN PDP AND SOUTHERNERS.....I MEAN PDP AND SOUTHERNERS HAD 16 YEARS TO RESTRUCTURE BUT DIDNT.....GEJ EVEN CONVENED A NATIONAL CONFERENCE BUT RRFUSED TO IMPLEMENT ITS RECOMMENDATIONS....LIKE HE DIDNT BELIEVE IN RESTRUCTURING.....ONLY TO WANT APC TO RRSTRUCTURE FORCEFULLY......KO LE WERK

abeg carry your cry comot here

Northern states and poverty of the mind

KILLTHECOWS:
now that it is favouring you..you now know that politicians don't care for him...don't cry when the table turns..
Fear God oooo

Which favour when I'm telling u fact abt the actual number absorb annually. Every state get equal number of I think 3 candidates, supplementary list is used in the event of death, injury, certificates or health ground during training. In most cases supplementary list ended up being useless.

Opera news is no credible news source. Besides, benue should be top on the list. Ortom has killed the state and turned it into his private enterprise.

Your point exactly?
Are you arguing with who in this analysis? Do you have a contradictory data to postulate your angst? Or are you just venting to relieve yourself?
I need to know!

THIS REPORT LOOKS SOMEHOW DOCTORED. IGR IS HYPOCRITICAL AND FAKE WITHOUT FULL AUTONOMOUS RESOURCING (FAR).

GRANT OUR 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES FULL AUTONOMOUS RESOURCING-FAR, AND ALL WILL SURVIVE BY MERGER, MAGIC AND MIRACLES.
