Op why you dey book space like ds Na, haba

Want to upload more info

All these states can't generate 1 billion dollars in 3 months and we say we want to develop?

The tax coming from the public transport sector should be over 350bn a month

This is really embarrassing I swear... A whole state can't generate 1 billion dollars a year

How is that even possible

The money a state governor rakes in monthly is greater than what his state makes. Isn't that awful?

Good effort, poor numbers

Our governors need to work smart not hard! ..Nigeria is an overpopulated country so why is the states IGR soo weak...As if we dnt work nor eat! Rubbish...

and some dumb idiots want to compare their crappy state to Ogun.
shior

Oh yes my dear state on top

I no dey see any growth,
Zee black soap still be 130 naira for Dee kelechi shop and nescafe coffee is 50 bucks

Facebook made $6billion dollars in its first quarter of 2018. If a company founded in 2004 or so could make this sort of money then I wonder why a state with human and material resources would make so little.

What is the investment portfolio of our states. It is not to just collect allocation and chase citizens for tax. A sensible state should have a wide investment and business portfolio. Imagine if a state like Ekiti owned 3% of Facebook. It would have been raking in billions by now.

Let all these states start investing in startup companies both locally and abroad and see your funding sources immlrove drastically.

Good

I like the way Ogun state has been doing legbegbe with Lagos and Rivers in terms of IGR

No state from other side of the country on the top ten list.

Gradually, the nation is moving forward.

yes, they try.

With all the monies obi claims he invested for the state in his family business plus all the returns, you need electron microscope to locate anambra state on the list.

Nigerians resent the idea of paying taxes to generate revenue for development. Until they embrace tax payment the IGR from the states will remain low.

Just see that of Kano.......is it not a surprise?
