It's only in Nigeria that States are ranked or rated by IGR lmaoo I don't understand it

Hope you guys know no one Verifies IGR it's what the state reports that is taken

We should focus more on HDMI, GDP and GDP per capita

Those are the only independently veritable data

Ekiti State has emerged top in improved Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) among the 36 states of the Federation, according to a recent report released during the week.

In the report circulated by the Joint Tax Board (JTB) at its 155th meeting at Zuma Rock Resort, Suleja, Niger State, Ekiti State ranked first in the 2023 Annual Growth Rate Ranking.
The Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) increased from ₦17.03b in 2022 to ₦29.82b in 2023, representing a 75 percent growth rate.

The improvement is attributed to enhanced reporting and significant growth in IGR by the state. The obviously good performance of the Governor, Mr @biodunaoyebanji is believed to have endeared him to taxpayers leading to improved voluntary compliance.

Ekiti State also moved up to 16th position in the Total Collections Ranking from its previous ranking of one of the worst five.

Under the Direct Assessment Parameters, the dynamism of Ekiti State Internal Revenue Service is evident as Ekiti State improved from 33rd to 15th position.

The State also ranked 25th in Withholding Tax collections and 28th in MDA collections.

Commenting on the development, the Chairman of Ekiti State Internal Revenue Service, Mr Olanitan Olatona said It is hoped that all MDAs will improve their collections and reporting to improve on the statistics in the future.

Olatona said while the state government has not introduced any new taxes in the state, it has effectively deployed technology to block leakages and ease the mode of payment.

“Beyond this, the Governor has also deepened the citizens’ confidence in the government through prudent spending that focuses on infrastructure, human capital development, health care delivery and creation of economic opportunities for the citizens. This has helped them to pay their taxes as and when due, while also expecting more from government.

The IRS boss said the state government intends to capture more citizens in the tax net through sundry empowerment programmes and job creation efforts of the government.

Look at Bauchi closely... how does the active voice subscription amount to 4 million plus? Do the math.
Also look at lagos.. add up everything.. how does it amount to 25million plus

Also, it's only nasarawa, akwaibom and cross river that have MTN voice subscriptions? 😂


The data is skewed. Obviously photoshopped to promote tribal bigotry.
The North East has more data subscriptions than the South East? Joke of the century! 😂

Mods, close this thread please..

When Sunday Igboho was Fighting for a Yoruba Nation,
Was is it not Tinibu and his APC Yoruba Elders that Collaboed with Ex President Buhari and his Aso Rock Cabal to Imprison him and Intimidate into Silence? 😏

So Blame Tinibu or Yorubas.

As an OLD SOLDIER,, Obasanjo Does not do Cowardice and Cheap Tricks.😏🙂

,
You're a nobody in the scheme of things in this Lagos

The true sons and daughters of Lagos don't talk like you just did . It is outside front neighbouring states that talk so irresponsible like you that are bringing trouble to Lagos . But we will keep deporting you people that will leave your states and be laying clime to Lagos


If you do not have Lagos blood in you, you can never be Lagos .

We will keep pressing on the governor Sanwo Olu to deport more of your likes that has done nothing good than creating enemies for Lagos

santaclaws:
Hope it's not to be shared among APC members

Mass housing that you guys do but won't consider your own Lagos state government staff first. How many teachers in Lagos can afford this apartment based on their Lagos govt salary? Keep deceiving yourselves.

The Yorubas who are supposed to vote for you are now forced to live in Ogun state cos you won't provide affordable housing, not even for your own staff.

Igbos will produce a governor in Lagos very soon and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Keep sharing everything among your party members, you will vote for yourselves in the next election.

Ehen?

How much last??

001Lagos:
Are you even an Indigine of Lagos to start with ?

Go back to your state of origin or be deported like others from Osun state because Lagos is for only the true sons and daughters of Lagos.
