Who is to blame for this?

I think it is the political parties in Nigeria who appear to have been bribed so that they will not challenge the governors who dont hold local government elections.
If there is democracy in the local governments then some of them will throw up real visionary leaders as chairmen
A local government with 150,000 population will have up to 50,000 buildings and tenement collection wil be around 2 billion naira per annum, adverts should be up to 100 million naira, produce tax if majority of workers are farmers will be in excess of 5 billion naira per annum. If they are not farmers then other taxes will be higher
But it can't happen when the governors don't hold elections and the non ruling political parties are ok with that

Same anambra that extorted me 5k for their local government levies with receipts

Corruption eaten deep unto our economy

ArcSEMPECJ:
Where are the APC supporters, come and see your favourite Anambra State in the list, very soon you all will go and dig it Local Govt were able to raise funds during Peter Obi tenures ....lols 😂😂😂😂😂

BlackViper:
50,000 buildings ke? You're being over generous. What percentage of those 50,000 buildings will be private residences? And how many of them are office spaces, schools, warehouses, storage units, factories,hospitals, places of worship etc?

I doubt if even Alimosho LG has up to 50,000 buildings and it is the largest local government area in Nigeria by population

RichDad1:
Can you see your Alex Otti too on the list? Where's the good governance y'all are touting about?

SonOfWords:
Are you people saying that all twenty-three local government areas in Rivers state did not generate a cent in revenue through out the twelve months of the 2025 fiscal year😹🫠?

Wike is indeed replicating the Tinubu Lagos capture blueprint in Rivers.

Parachoko:
The days Governors like Peter Obi holds Election when they are about to hand over power is far Gone.

What we should be asking for now Is for INEC to start holding LG elections or a new Federal agency should be created for holding LG Election

States Electoral body are just holding sham elections

Or the states can be forced to start using BVN for their elections, it will really reduce inflating of votes
