Continue with your lies Ogun State generates an average of N1.5 million per month

The Ogun Internal Revenue Service (OGIRS) said on Tuesday that it generated N15.14 billion between January and October.

The Chairman of the service, Mr Babajide Odubanjo, said this in Abeokuta while defending the 2015 budget proposal of the agency before the Ogun State House of Assembly.

Odubanjo said that the revenue was raised from stamp duty, articulated vehicles dealers permits and licences, road taxes and tax investigations.

He told the lawmakers that the agency was expected to generate N36.77billion in 2015.

The chairman said the agency had proposed N1.5billion as its total expenditure made up of N400million projected capital expenditure and N1.1billion recurrent expenditure.

He said that the major target of the agency in 2015 was to improve tax revenue by 50 per cent.

In her presentation, the General Manager, Ogun Water Corporation, Alhaja Monsurat Agboola, said the provision of water would be improved upon across the three senatorial zones of the state.

Agboola said that the corporation would recapture all customers that had been disconnected on a result of massive road construction in the state.

She said that the agency would increase the number of its customers from 517,093 to 1,084,186.

The general manager explained that rehabilitation of water facilities would be carried out at water schemes at Ijebu Imushin, Wasimi, Ikene, Ipokia, Ilishan, Owode Egba, Ajilete, old Ota, Igan Alade and Imeko.

She said that the corporation had proposed a total expenditure of N4.8billion in 2015 with N3.5billion earmarked for capital expenditure and N1.3billion projected as recurrent expenditure. (NAN)

Believe that rubbish at your own peril... In a sane country, Ogun state IGR is ten times that of lagos....

Ogun is home to the cement industry in Nigeria.. Dangote's company and many other manufacturing companies are located in Ogun..

Anytime I see Ogun IGR(N15B). I just laugh... Cos only f:ools will believe such lies..

How many did your father built? You want to use city with three skyscrapers and highest shanties and compare it with state with highest numbers of highrises in Nigeria

pus97:


First of all that city is not in Nigeria. It is in western Nigeria.

First of all, that city is not Lagos. It is call Victoria island.


There is a difference between Lagos island and Lagos state.

When they say Oba of Lagos. They are not talking about Lagos state, they are talking about Lagos island.

Lagos state is divided into cities

Victoria island is a city.

Lagos island is a city
Ikorodu is a city.
Ikeja is a city

.

Remember that, My area “Ikoyi" remain the Paramount/Prominent of them all.

Must I see u in any thread with the potential of ethnic brouhaha and discord. At the end of the day it is fun to see E-tribal warrior tearing and clawing at each others eyes while going to work tomorrow to greet their bosses from the offending tribe. We need each other, any tribe that leaves the country will remove part of dat naija flavour...

ZUBY77:


You need to start moving out of your place to other regions.

Ibadan is far behind Onitsha when it comes to business.
As a matter of fact, Onitsha as a whole is one big market.

I have come for businesses in Ibadan.
Over 5000 containers arrive in Onitsha every week.
That cannot be said with Ibadan.


We can all agree that the Igbos are into micro business more than every other tribe in the world.
#fact.

Even the Lagos we all mention, more than half of the business there is owned by the Igbos.

In the same Ibadan you mentioned, you can find thousands of Igbo traders there..

Every tribe in Nigeria has what they are known for.

Dude, you are talking about trading, its not the same thing as the economy of the city/state. What about the service sector or the agricultural sector? Dey dere dey jones.

Do you have any idea of the amount of money made from agro-processing and the agro-allied companies and farms to be found in Ibadan?

Do you think its for no reason farm goods are cheaper in Ibadan than anywhere else in the southern region?

Besides, Ibadan has very large markets too.

You're trying to convince a tribal bigot about something he'll never admit...

Ibadan used to be best before Lagos was given a position by the colonial masters... The first tallest building in Nigeria then was built in ibadan..

The IGR been posted by oyo, ogun and lagos needs to be investigated especially Ogun... Cos that's where Dangote's companies are located and there are many manufacturing companies there..

Lagos, 6 other states control 90% of cash transactions in Nigeria – CBN

Finance Monday, May 27, 2013

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has said that Lagos and six other states control about 90 per cent of cash transactions in the country. The other states are Rivers, Anambra, Abia, Kano, Ogun and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

CBN Deputy Governor, Operations, Mr. Tunde Lemo, who disclosed this, said this was the reason why the abovementioned states were been slated for the second phase of the cash-less project billed to kick off on the July 1st. Acknowledging that there have been and there are still challenges with the cashless project, he said most of them are being resolved.

He listed one of the major challenges to include interconnectivity in some of the clusters, which he said is being addressed.

Lemo said that besides the use of alternative channels of transactions such as Point of Sales (PoS), the cashless project would be driven through the telephone. Nigeria is second in number of mobile phone users in sub Saharan Africa after South Africa, which is also the largest economy in the region.

Lemo also said the cashless policy had been successful in Lagos, adding that the number of Point of Sale (PoS) machines in Lagos has increased significantly from about 5,000 when the policy took off last year, to over 150,000.

"We still have a few challenges, but if I look back, I really would say that we have done a lot to transform the payment system in Lagos through PoS," he said.

The cashless policy, whose implementation began in Lagos in January, last year, is aimed at reducing the dominance of cash in the system. The policy specifies penal charges for individuals and corporate organisations that want to withdraw or lodge cash above prescribed limits. Under the policy, the CBN pegged the daily cumulative cash withdrawal or deposit limit for individual accounts at N500,000 per day and N3 million per day for corporate accounts.

Just a week ago, the Chief Executive Officer, Electronic Payment Providers Association of Nigeria (E-PPAN), Mrs. Onajite Regha, said the coming on board on the next phase of the cash-less policy in July may raise the value of electronic funds transfer in the country to N160billion per day by the end of the year.

The E-PPAN boss, who spoke in Lagos, said the current value of electronic fund transfers - put at N80billion per day by the CBN, would most likely double because there would be a lot of changes, which would compel people to use e-Fund transfer channels.

The Nigeria Interbank Settlement System (NIBSS) is handling transactions worth about N20billon daily, while the Nigeria Electronic Funds Transfer is conducting about N60billion worth of transactions daily.

NIBSS provides the infrastructure for automated processing, settlement of payments and fund transfer instructions between banks, discount houses and card companies in Nigeria. It is owned equally by all licensed banks in Nigeria, and the CBN. Discount houses operating in Nigeria also hold substantial shares.

Stop believing what you read in newspapers...

If you read properly you'll notice clearly that they picked 2 states from the MAJORITY region and one from SS to make it seem like all the regions are working..

Oyo has been seriously mismanaged...

I would choose Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, Bayelsa, Rivers, Calabar, Abia, Enugu..

You are right bro, when it comes to trading, iboes are veteran in that aspect.
that's why I included aba & Onitsha, more like they are the biggest trading centres in Nigeria.
but in terms of revenue generation and industries, they are behind.
but they will deny the fact. why do you think they are not among the top five richest men in Nigeria?

we all kw who is getting huge bailout funds for salary payment. Anambra is embarking on numerous capital projects while still not owing salaries in the face of dwindling allocation. you ppl only live in propaganda but when wind blow we all go see fowl nyash

IamAtribalist:



I have no dogs in this fight (I am neither an annoying amala-eater or a disgusting akpu-eating chest beater) so lets be honest:

The amala-eaters (especially Lagos, Ogun and Oyo) have cornered viable non-oil investments in this country. Amala-eaters, because they have always had visionary political leaders, had already set up their region up for the benefits they are reaping today. Awolowo started it all by laying an education foundation for the region with his visionary free education policy. I am not surprised that the Ogun hub is now the center of Nigeria's industrial manufacturing. The amala-eaters, hate them or love them, are the most visionary of all Nigerian tribes and whenever they play their annoying politics within Nigeria, they do EVERYTHING to make sure that the future of their region is secured. While the amala-eaters were investing in education, the akpu-chestbeaters were beating their hairy ape chests and Northern almajiris were eating gworo like imbeciles. Once again, true to form, the akpu-eating flattheads are beating their chests on this thread claiming that their kiosks in Nnewi and Aba are more viable than the industrial hubs of amala (SW) region. Port Harcourt alone is a senior brother of Nnewi and Aba so please stop talking nonsense.

Please MODS close this thread. I am tired of these amala-eaters flaunting their annoying success when the rest of Nigeria is struggling. Also nothing pisses me more than these akpu-flattheads beating their chests like apes - empty boasts nothing to show for it. Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeew.

Are you ok, what is amala eaters and akpu eaters. I know you love this your Amala. You are not making sense at all.

Lagos tops IGR report

Last Updated: 12 February 2015|16:00 GMT
Lagos is the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria. PHOTO: Getty images

In the report which was signed by Statistician General, Yemi Kale in collaboration with the Joint Tax Board, Lagos State generated 185.541 billion naira in 2010, 202.761 billion naira in 2011 and 219.202 billion naira in 2012 making it the state with the highest internally generated revenue(IGR).

“First of all, we see patterns. Lagos stands out from the rest of the country, totally in a class of its own. Two, the south is totally different from the north and generally the economies in the north evidently lag behind,” Opeyemi Agbaje, CEO of RTC Advisory Services told CNBC Africa.

According to Agbaje, the data showed the impact of the major population and commercial centres especially in Southern Nigeria.

“So we see that the top seven or eight states are Lagos, Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Oyo, Enugu, and Cross River. Relatively, the South West stands out even from the rest of the South region. All of these give you a sense around the state of economic development in the regions,” he added.

Rivers State came in behind Lagos state with 173.047 billion naira and a breakdown showed that the state generated 49.585 billion naira in 2010, 57.187 billion naira in 2011 and 66.275 billion naira in 2012.

Delta ranked third with the most IGR, the data revealed that 26.087 billion naira was collected in 2010, 34.750 billion naira in 2011 and 45.566 billion naira in 2012.

“It also reflects the social statistics in terms of education, entrepreneurial activities, the development of businesses, the development of commerce and industries across those regions.”

Nonetheless, most states in the North reported very low IGR’s and Agbaje believes that the social systems in that region are faulty, especially the educational system.

“You can’t build entrepreneurial activity if your people are not educated. You can’t build small businesses, IT businesses, small shops and supermarkets, based on an illiterate population. Principally, the major element for me is, dealing with education,” he explained.

While Sokoto state collected the least IGR of 3.888 biliion naira because the state’s IGR for 2011 and 2012 could not be computed, Yobe State’s IGR declined from 5.960 billion naira in 2010 to 1.785 billion naira in 2012.

“On the part of the Government, it probably reflects the state of the investment climate across regions. So government, have they created infrastructure, have they created incentives, have they created laws, have they created security? All of those things are what would want to make investors invest in the region,” he said.

Are u basin your statistics on foreign media instead of CBN stats ? Secondly are u talking about "cities or states?"
CBN had pioneer states for it "Cash-less" society monetary programme and states where chosen based on economic indicators Not based political consideration

And the states were in no particularly order-
Lagos
Portharcourt
ABeokuta
Ibadan
Aba
Onitcha
Kano and Abuja as FCT.
Any other thing is nothing but sentiment

They were chosen based on economic indicators?? What a stupid thing to say. You think you are talking to your village head?

wiseoneking:
ibadan is not actually a ECONOMIC VIABLE CITY but civil servants oriented like Enugu coal. That it is large does not make it a viable one. The first 4 cities that sanusi of cbn started the cashless policy are the first tier viable city. They are Lagos, Abuja, Onitsha and Portharcourt. Others are Aba kano kaduna and ibadan. But the first 4 are the most viable economical. Nnewi is invariably included.

I disagree wit ur first two lines. U cud v said Ibadan is viable but Lagos, PH, Aba ar more viable.

In your eyes you have written something sensible?

Lagos is a city and it was the former capital of Nigeria.
It comprises Lagos Island,Victoria Island,IkoyiTinCan Island Apapa,Surulere and Yaba ,Otto,Ijora and Iganmu.
Ask the indigenes they will educate you.

Lagos State was created in 1968 but the City of Lagos existed before that under a Federal Minister one of whom was the Late President Yar'adua's father. It was known as Municipality of Lagos Formally.

Prior to this places like Mushin ,Ikeja Ikorodu Epe and Badagry were in the WESTERN REGION
Afterwards the Municipality remained under the Federal Government and this is indicated in the Supreme Court , State House and other Federal buildings in the City

Lagos is the Home of the Stock Exchange and several banks and several key markets, Balogun and Oke Arin e.g
It hosts the most important seaports i the country

Lagos is a city but not ijora, surulere, yaba as you just wrote. You are wrong. When we talk of lagos as a city, you dont include those towns and counties.
