Ekiti Leads In IGR Growth Rate by yoruboid: 8:23pm On Aug 13

Ekiti State has emerged top in improved Internally Generated Revenue 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 at its 155th meeting in Suleja, Niger State, Ekiti State ranked first in the 2023 Annual Growth Rate Ranking.

The state’s IGR, according to the report, increased from N17.03bn in 2022 to N29.82bn in 2023, representing a 75 per cent 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 Biodun Oyebanji 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,” part of the report read.

Speaking on the development, the Chairman of Ekiti State Internal Revenue Service, Olanitan Olatona, expressed the hope that all MDAs would improve their collections and reporting to improve on the statistics in the future.

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

Lagos is a crying shame. Good for nothing state ruled by failures and crimi also since 1999 till today, except Ambode.

Lagos should be raking in at least 40 billion dollars monthly if not foe the free foe all stealing going on there. Real lagos indigenes has been crying for the massive looting in Lagos.

It's a pity.

States over taxing their people just to lavish the money on over priced, no viable infrastructure projects

But there is no excuse why IMO the second largest economy can't generate 150 billion minimum tho absolutely no excuse

Ekiti is about to make a huge loan request. Whenever a state hikes and puts up a questionable IGR data, it wants to convince lenders on it's repayment capacity.

Don't mind that person, MadamVanessa, she's hardly ever intelligent in her expression on here. Her bitterness beats bitterleaf's taste.

This same IGR for a particular state was increased by about 6Billion by a Predecessor, and one Fraud of a man took over for 8 years and increased it by only 1B, he left office and another Governor entered and increased it by about 8 Billion.

Na that same man dem dey package for us as the best man for the job.

Thunder go fire all of una.

I am not pleased with what Tinubu has done so far, but I would still prefer an Atiku to that scam of a man.

Nice one ekiti. I guess much of the igr comes from afe babalola university. That university is another FDI on his own. Very huge!!!

If all ekiti professionals invested in ekiti state,it will be competing with Lagos or ogun economically. Hardly Wil u see an ekiti man that's not a graduate or educated. Even the ones in remote hinterlands like omuo ekiti and aramoko ekiti.

You know why I laugh at you. The definition of IGR is revenue generated from taxes and government levies. If a state with a low GDP and per capita income suddenly has a high IGR growth rate, it mean the people are being overtaxed and businesses are suffering. It begs the question what is the impact of the so called IGR?
