Lagos could hit N400bn in IGR on 2018. It currently accounts for over 35% of IGR receipts by states in Nigeria.

How is your state doing on the IGR board?

Can Nigeria really grow without functional states with distributed wealth and tax receipts? #AskQuestions

They are supposed to have 50% ,because of deliberate concentration of,and monopoly of Federal Revenue agencies.
Why will it be only in Lagos state that Nigerians will clear their containers?

Apapa no be small thing oo.

n

JESUS!!!!! why will people not kill to become Lagos state governor?

Hmm, Lagos can survive on its own.

Wow....Lagos is on steroid! I went searching for Kano I know what I saw, you can imagine when it come to creating local govt, Federal allocation, voting power I am the right person to talk to as far as powerbank for your laptop, Phones and LED TV is concerned. See my signature below and recommend. Thanks

Lagos had been the commercial hub of Nigeria for over 20 years and will continue to hold a clear lead until there is a concrete plan by the FG to at least, create a fair playing ground for other regions; e.g wholeheartedly, test run other ports. Not to discredit the efforts of LASG to take full advantage of opportunities though

Lagos is suffering heavily as a result of the pressure. 3hrs in traffic for a 45mins Max journey.

in a progressive and viable society, its can't happen.

is FTC not generating IGR. where's the money used to develop Abuja coming from. building huge infrastructure at the detriment of its component unit. Nonsense.

Now compare this figure to the sorry state of infrastructure in Lagos!


Where is all this money going to?

Ogun state igr is more than the sum of the five SE state

The margin between Lagos and the rest too much.

It had better be half year, cos I have the data and statistics of 2017.

We are doing between ₦300 Billion and ₦350 billion. Yes the projection of ₦400 Billion by December, 2018 is very possible

many of these state are doing very bad when you compare their IGR with both their domestic and foreign debt.

It's for the first 6-months of 2018. Lagos already made about 28-billion more in the first six months of this year than it did same period of last year.

Are federal revenue agencies collecting revenue for lagos state govt?

It should be 90% considering how much those trailers and tankers pay on daily basis. Not to talk of the agbero and population of the state. The question should be, what have the states done with their IGR to better the life of its citizens.

I know. At the end of 2018, the other half could make it as High as ₦400billion for the entire year.

LIRS is doing about ₦250billion per annum, same way Fowler is making FIRS to do about ₦1 trillion plus per annum

Eastern states have some of the lowest igr. Yet they are the biggest noisemakers about restructuring. People that have zero assets to restructure. Lolz

The question to who? Do you reside in Lagos?
How much are they making from trailers?
How much are they making from Àgbèro?

States are just quoting any figure they like. Lol

That's why Lagos has always been and will continue to be the best state in Nigeria till Jesus comes

How much does container clearance add to Lagos IGR?

It is not Abuja infrastructure that's the problem. Its your useless state governors that keep siphoning your wealth and the lazy stupid youths that play the ostrich that's the biggest problem!

It's surprising that Aba (Ábíá) Onitsha (Anambra) are even behind Kano and Kaduna. Wow

Yet nothing to show for it. Bad roads everywhere and refuse too.

Help me ask these ignorant people. Majority of what happens in Apapa are controlled by Federal government. The taxes are federal collected by FIRS. This add little to IGR. These kids needs to know that Apapa is even a disaster for Lagos. The customs, police and other government agencies at the ports are under federal government. The customs duties you pay to clear your goods goes to FG, not LASG. Atiku's Intel is working with NPA. NPA is an agency of Federal Government. Lagos makes no direct income from ports. It's federal government that makes the money and they share to all 36 states. Apapa port case should not be used
VAT and company income taxes are collected by FIRS and not Lagos State. Oil company pays taxes to FG, while staff pay taxes to LASG.

Lagos makes more money from

P A Y É PIT
Land Use Charge
Hotel and consumption tax.
Title documents registration/ perfection in Alausa
Sale of land in Government Scheme.
Physical Planning approval
Surveyor General
LASBCA
Petrol station taxes
Adverts
Vehicle license
Etc

Idiots should stop talking about income from ports or oil revenue. Without federal allocation, Lagos is doing so well. Ask Tinubu How he did it from 2003 to 2007.

It's the Governors of other states that are killing their citizens

Lagos was once the nations capital, so it had the advantage of gaining in infrastructure development from the federal government. Let's not forget about the availability of seaport as well as a fully functional international airport. If other states had fully functional international airports and seaport do you think people will be bothering themselves coming to Lagos to do business?

Let's not forget, with all that revenue, Lagos is yet to have uninterrupted power, don't have a proper waste management scheme, residents drill their boreholes as no waterboard management. Tell us again what's the usefulness of all that IGR Oh! I forgot, it's all for tinubu

20 years? No, even before Nigeria was created.

The only person that made sensible comment so far. Nobody asks where such huge funds go to.
