The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has released the amount of money each state of the federation is collecting as Internally Generated Revenue ( IGR).

The release came against the backdrop of non-payment of salaries in most of the states, a development the state governors attributed to paucity of funds.

In the document entitled ‘Details of Internally Generated Revenue in States’ released on Wednesday by the NBS, it showed Lagos State collecting N276,163,978,675.95 in fiscal 2014 as against N384,259,410,959.19 collected in 2013 to lead other 22 states which records of IGR were released.

Rivers State followed Lagos with IGR of N89,112,448,347.58 in 2014 compared with N87,914,415,268.80 collected in 2013 fiscal year.

Delta State came third with IGR of N42,819,209,025.24 in 2014 as against N50,208,229,986.91 for 2013 while Ekiti and Zamfara states were those with lowest IGR.

While Ekiti collected IGR of N3,462,341,448.32 in 2014, Zamfara received IGR of N3,147,630,553.96 for the same period.

Others states in terms of ranking are

Enugu, N19,250,345,593.00;

Ogun, N17,492,620,787.52;

Zamfara, N3,147,630,553.96

Noting that the report gave a breakdown of 23 states, the NBS said the 2014 report would be updated as soon as other states submitted their IGR report.

The states that are yet to report on their IGRs for 2014 as of the time of this report are Abia, Adamawa, Borno, Cross River, Ebonyi, Edo, Gombe, Jigawa, Kano, Kwara, Ondo, Taraba and Yobe

Hmmm.let me reserve my comment for now

Where did they spend these monies? Especially Rivers and Delta states. Akwa Ibom IGR is too poor for a state with huge potential

Osun, N8,513,274,186.67;
Imo, N8,115,715,385.95;

Ekiti, N3,462,341,448.32;

While Osun and Imo owe workers 7 and 11 months pay, Ekiti barely owes its workers. I'm trying hard to comprehend what really went wrong. Does Ekiti earn more from the national purse or does it have lesser number of workers?

what is your interest in looking for mates for Aregbe? Imo state government have repeatedly denied owing 11months salary. The workers did not complain of being owed any salary, yet you want to bring them down to the level of Osun , just to justify that reckless man. Pray that he pays by month end, as he promised. We cant always be hiding behind a finger in order to preserve ethnic pride.

Oga, reread my post. It has nothing to do with ethnic pride (I compared Osun and Imo to Etiki). If you check my blog, you will discover my identity. Good to know from you Imo ain't owing it's workers, contrary to the figures of this thread.....

Ndeewo!
