Oyo, Ogun and Osun are where they ought to be. Lagos (being the highest beneficiary of our skewed federal system) ought to be further down and Ondo higher up. This is the reality if Nigeria practices true fiscal federalism.

Ogun, Osun and Oyo with all their loans should be better.

Wao Katsina really tried. This state was govern by credible people.

Enugu always representing... Proudly 042.

QueenOfNepal:
Osun takes last in everything but Aregberascal goons here do swore he is doing a good job.

Those guys are eating their childrens sweat in advance. Reverse Child Raising(RCR) it is.

Those in Osun and Plateau should relocate to Borno

Can u pls go and change the list.

paulchineduN:
I thought Abia state will be last in the ranking. Borrowing every month with nothing to show for it, some individuals taking the allocation from the source under an 'arrangee' agreement and touting in the name of political compensation at the expense of the masses and the IGR.

Please borrowing is not totally a bad idea but it is bad when you misapply it.
Next time don't wish your state bad luck because it may be a yardstick to judge you as an individual.

How come Kogi state that can’t even get anything done is ranking so high above states like Kaduna and Ogun?

Abeg forget this list! lol I don’t even understand it- and I doubt most people here understand what the list is saying.

Are you saying SW is not sustainable if Lagos is removed from it

fake

After few our of banned,And nairaland lifted it
They should apologize for banning me without reasonable reasons

mmsen:


That's been known. When you subtract Lagos' large IGR from the regional total what is left is very small.

Please I an interested in the figures.
Can you post it here?

where are those afonja miscreants,,shame shame shame!!

I

Angelb4:
See where Ogun is, even Ekiti. See Osun. So only Lagos can survive comfortably in the South West. Nice one for Enugu, they surprised me.

I am living and doing business here but u need to come and see how the political gladiators here are impoverishing the state. This state is supposed to be one of the most viable states but the wicked politicians has turned it barren. So, when I am writing, I do that out of experience

SW is not economically viable,if not Lagos that was developed by Nigeria the way Abuja is been developed now from ND oil money the SW will be worst off.

When a little truth is revealed about Nigeria, you'll begin to see the reason why South East confidently wants to leave without your Oil or Agriculture. Almost every village in the East is urbanized. Why? We depend on our brain, fingers and strength. That's what is keeping China, Brazil and South Korea. Let's restructure now or some States would collapse completely if one day referendum becomes a reality. All those uninhabited Forests encroaching roads from Edo to Ondo to Ekiti to Ilesha to Ibadan and to Lagos could have bn converted to farms, Industrial sites, Shops and homes if they were in the South East but they're all pestering on Federal jobs which impoverish them the more. Just remittances from Igbos abroad to their relations are capable of boosting the micro-economic strength of Igbo States. I'm not boasting but just being Frank.

Ebonyi doing us proud since 1900

This is why I laugh at these head slammers whenever they rejoice over fake IGR. When I called attention to how SW is degenerating day by day, they called me all manners of name and tagged me IPod. We shall see. Where are those morons to come and brandish some fake fictitious IGR figures again to deceive ourselves. Within us,we know the truth.

This statistics does not really mean a viable or non-viable State. To determine that, you will need to know the States' percentage of Capital and Recurrent expenditure. If the expenditure is relatively more on capital side than recurrent, then you cannot say a State that spend less is better. So, do that first before bragging or becoming sober. My2cents.

Capital expenditure increases capacity to generate more funds that will offset the balance in the future.

QueenOfNepal:
Osun takes last in everything but Aregberascal goons here do swore he is doing a good job.

Osun state IGR is almost zero. That I think could be reason for this. Also, in the states that have more than 80% of her populace as Civil servants (Recurrent expenditure will always be high). May God help them all

If Nigeria should practice true fiscal federalism, Lagos will lose many of its advantages. And most States of the federation, not limited to SW states, will be in serious financial problems. The true gainers of fiscal federalism is major oil bearing states.

I really wish and pray for the Bonny seaport project to be a reality. Rivers cannot be on the Nigerian coast and not take its fullest advantages.

Lagos should be in better stead in case of True federalism,then the taxes been generated from federal government agencies would be retained by the state ,and a lower percentage of tax paid to FG.

the South East would fair better because they have virtually manage to thrive without Federal infrastructure

@Op, please tell us why Enugu is ranked this high

Alexgeneration:
Source?

You saw Budgit there and you’re still asking for source. What’s the matter with you?

Wao! Even my BENUE state is ahead of kaduna? We are moving forward gradually. Lets the country be restructure so that we will know the states that are truly the giants

uglyafonja:
Afonja states with their fake IGR......

No wonder they are still hungry and nearly collapse during the recession period

I'm sure this illiterate doesn't know the meaning of fiscal sustainability.

Fiscal sustainability has nothing to do with standard of living, Ode... It's more about economic projections

so all this booming skull mining and human parts business in Yoruba land did not improve standard of living in that region Ndia self TUFIAKWA
