Like I said the Obiano administration is corrupt and incompetent. Just look at the IGR.

IGR in Anambra was 10 billion in 2014, 14.8 billion in 2015, was not reported in 2016, and was 17.36 billion in 2017. But already with the end of 2018 approaching it is clear that IGR will drop drastically in 2018 probably to around 15 billion.

Meanwhile just consider how other states have fared. Look at Kaduna for example that had LOWER IGR than Anambra in 2015. Its IGR in 2015 was 11 billion, in 2016 it was 17 billion, in 2017 it was 26.5 billion.

The question is what did Kaduna do that Obiano's revenue service did not do:

1) The Kaduna State Government has only ONE authority that collects tax KDIRS. They digitized and automated tax collection. Meanwhile, Anambra State government resorted to using "Agents". These corrupt "agents" have clearly diverted huge sums of revenue from government coffers.

2) Kaduna clamped down heavily on street trading, hawking and okada while under the ANSG that and illegal parked vehicles have taken over the streets of commercial districts in Anambra creating chaos and chasing away profits for formal business that pay taxes.

3) Law Enforcement has collapsed under the ANSG. The Ocha Brigade, ATMA are all corrupt entities doing little enforcement but lining their pockets creating a poor business environment.


Going forward, I recommend that Obiano get serious with his next three years in office. The state should be doing at least 36 billion if it created the right environment for formal business to flourish. For example, PAYE Tax which is the largest source of revenue for Lagos is based on 24% of personal income. You cannot get much tax from wheelbarrow hawkers. You need to attract real organizations that pay decent salaries for PAYE tax. The state has absolutely no idea how to get these companies even as it is sitting on a gold mine with Onitsha (a major distribution point). Just attracting the likes of PZ Cussons, Indomie, and other consumer good companies to the state would yield massively for the state government not 1,000 wheelbarrows lined up in front of Ochanja.

As it is, Enugu gets quite a lot of IGR because it hosts the factories for Coca Cola, Nigerian Breweries, Seven Up and others. This is despite the fact that Onitsha has a natural location advantage with access to water (from River Niger) and distance to key markets around. But real investors run from chaos. MTN's regional headquarters is based in Asaba not Onitsha, Glo's is based in Enugu.

I don’t think it’s right the way you castigate anambra.

Enugu has; an international airport, a museum, an international stadium and over 15 federal parastatals.

..of cos their igr should be substantially bigger.

Kaduna on the other hand is enjoying federal might thanks to the disingenuous diabolical nature of el rufai.

Anambra has no single federal strength in the state.

All the state has its the govt and a few elites.

Nwanne forget that guy with his lies and fallacies. Forget about theory, Anambra's IGR is the highest in the SE.
