The Annual State Viability Index (ASVI) published by Economic Confidential has revealed some Nigerian states that can survive without the monthly federal allocations.

According to The Cable, the ASVI measured the viability index of states using each state’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) as a percentage of its federal accounts allocation for the year.

Lagos, Rivers, Ogun, Kaduna, Oyo and Anambra can survive without federal allocation.
Legit.ng gathers that states with an IGR of less than 10% of their total receipts from the federal allocations are considered insolvent. Below are states listed as those that can survive without federal allocation: Lagos Rivers Ogun Kaduna Oyo Anambra

According to the report, states listed here can survive without federal allocation because they generate high revenues locally.

For instance, Lagos in 2020 collected a federal allocation of N299 billion but generated N418 billion locally (139%) Also, Rivers state which generated an IGR of N117 billion collected N198 billion as federal allocation (58%).

As for Ogun, the southwestern state made N50 billion IGR compared to the federal allocation of N88 billion (57%) it received.

Kaduna state generated N50 billion locally while its federal allocation was N124 billion (40%).

Oyo state with an IGR of N38 billion got N127 billion as federal allocation (29.7%) while

Anambra generated N28 billion compared to its federal allocation of N94 billion (29.6%).

Our governors are lazy....

meanwhile if you're reading this right now ,
I pray everything you've working for starts to work for you .

Our rulers love allocation just like monkey loves banana.

Surviving is not enough. Can they have any meaningful development?

Lie

So Delta and Edo could not make it?

There is no single state that cannot survive without Federal allocation.

If you are doubting me stop the allocation first

Let the money from the center stop first and let's see if ALL states will not look inward, create infrastructure and generate revenue.


Nah availability of funds to them dey make dem dey lazy.

state can survive if they collect vat

Ok it's not by all this figurative statistics, when it's implemented then we will know

Damn.
All states can survive without federal allocation

The same ogun and Oyo state that is borrowing to pay ordinary salary you mean

This up north can kill even to the extent of traveling down south east infiltrate and kill reckless, who will kill some one and drop a paper saying no election in anambra if not for those deadly abokis whom always leave their signature of stupidity anywhere they are sent to cause mayhem..

Parasites that can't create source of income for themselves

6 states? I am seeing only Lagos, the rest are blow 100%

Is this a true representative of what they generate viz a viz what they are allocated?

Same to you

Child of God

3 sw states. Lagos can spill over for osun, Ondo and ekiti. Easily the richest region in Nigeria.

Federal government looking for excuses to continue milking state of their resources..... Stop distribution of money from center and let each state manage their resources.

What will happen to the National Cake if states should stop receiving it or if states should start funding themselves?
Our situation corruption may worsen.

Every state can survive without allocation from Fg

Yoruba nation is ready

This is a stale over flogged issue. Like somebody up there said, our governors are lazy and are conniving with greedy individuals. If the FG stops giving federal allocation, more states will have to look at ways to attract money to their states, and collect what is already there. I do however admit that some states are hamstrung by negative effect and activities of FG

Kano would have eminently made the list but for some BDC/Forex receiving agent in power therein...

And kano be making mouth all these while.

Zamfara too

Just 6 out of 36?

Lagos, Rivers, Ogun, Kaduna, Oyo and Anambra??
Can the other states please stand up?
Please get creative. Ramp up.

All southern states except Kaduna .
Nigerian Breweries Plc has bagged the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service 2020 Highest Taxpayer, Pay-As-You- despite the existence of Sharia Law in the state.
Kaduna narrowly made it because of federal character. Kaduna is one of the Northern states that adopted Shari’a Law prohibiting the sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Here’s the list of the Top 5 Poorest States in Nigeria;

Sokoto state is rated as the poorest state in Nigeria, ranking 81.2% on the poverty level. Its harsh climate conditions have made its a no go area and have prevented foreigners and foreign investors to come for investment in the state. It is also the seat of the Caliphate.

2. Kastina State

Located at the deepest part of the northwestern area of Nigeria, Kastina state made it in the list of poorest states in Nigeria because it has fewer or no solid investment or sector that generates revenue for the state.

Continue to wail. Once Ajaokuta steel, Dangote refinery and the rail tracks are finished, it's a wrap.

The question is can these states place it's priority right. In Rivers state for example civil servants haven't seen any promotion throughout the inception of Wike's administration. No employment work force in the state civil service, pensioners are dying of starvation because of non payment of their pension and gratuity.
