I don't know why you guys enjoying fooling yourselves so the rubbish website you posted is more reliable than national Bureau of Statistics headed by Yoruba man


The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said the nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the 22 states in 2017 stood at 63.8 trillion naira or 56 per cent of Nigeria’s nominal GDP in that year.

The NBS disclosed this in a State Nominal Gross Domestic Product (2013 to 2017) Phase II released on Tuesday and posted on its website.

The report provides estimates for the second phase of the States GDP compilation exercise covering an additional 10 states – Anambra, Bauchi, Ebonyi, Edo, Ekiti, Gombe, Jigawa, Kogi, Niger, Ondo – and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Thus, the results for all 22 states are provided and analysed in the report.

The bureau said by sector, the 22 states accounted for 57 per cent, 77 per cent and 48 per cent of agriculture, industry and services GDP at the national level.

It, however, said among the 22 states, services sector accounted for 67 per cent, while agriculture accounted for 22 per cent and industry, 11 per cent.

It said the FCT had the highest gross domestic product at 10.6 trillion naira or 17 per cent of total states GDP.

This, it said was followed by Akwa-Ibom and Rivers, each with eight per cent of total states GDP.

In the FCT, it said services accounted for 81 per cent of GDP while industry and agriculture accounted for 18 per cent and 10 per cent respectively.

In Akwa-Ibom, it said industry accounted for 65 per cent while services and agriculture accounted for 19 per cent and 16 per cent.

According to the report, the non-oil sector represented 98 per cent of total states GDP across the 22 states while the oil sector accounted for only two per cent

It said the six states with the highest nominal GDP in 2017 were – FCT, Akwa-Ibom, Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, Anambra – accounted for about 50 per cent of the total states GDP, or 27 per cent of Nigeria’s nominal GDP, in 2017.

The NBS said the report was expected to inform policymakers at all levels regarding absolute and relative magnitudes of economic activities in the reporting states.

It said the report was also to inform policymakers in the reporting states even as the bureau continues efforts to complete the last phase of compilation for the remaining 15 states.

GDP of an economy, including at state level, is a measure in monetary terms of production of all goods and services during a period.

Like the compilation at the national level, state accounts statistics are based on the guidelines and recommendations set out in the System of National Accounts 2008 (SNA 2008).

The System of National Accounts provides an internationally-recognised framework and a comprehensive set of concepts, definitions and classifications for national accounting.

Also, states GDP compilation is important and useful for various purposes.

It provides important information to support evidence-based policymaking; it also helps to identify key drivers of economic growth in each state and assess the performance of the state economy.


Even with that NBS report Yoruba is still doing really great

We have more states in top ten states of every indices

NBS gave us nominal GDP which is different from REAL GDP.

Onitsha community is 52 sqkm but, Onitsha metro/urban spread is 1965 sqkm. Ibadan that you are talking about is up to 6,800 sqkm but its urban landmass is barely 440 sqkm.

Ibadan is more developed than all Igbo states joined together.

Ibadan urban spread is 6,800 sqkm,5000 times bigger than Onitsha which is 1,965 sqkm.
Onitsha is just one or one and half GRA in Ibadan.

Demographia did not consider the brown roof areas as urban. The only developed part of Ibadan is dugbe street, take dugbe street away and what u get is a mega slum. Even demographia pitied you guys by projecting your urban landmass as about 440sqkm when in reality it is just one street.

If demographia actually counted slums, then the list will be totally different. People don’t know that there are companies specialized in high definition satellite imagery. A friend of mine works for one of those in the US. You can differentiate between slum areas and real urban development.

Lol I'm just seeing how u guys are disgracing yourselves
I told u before,this demogaphria urban development is based on population
Even in first page of this thread ur Igbo brother said population but u quickly said economic
Do u even know what urban means
Looking at that list all its talking about is population
Lagos 14 million plus Onitsha 8-9 million plus
Ibadan according to Wikipedia is 3.5 million plus
Get it into your brain, population population population
Its even written in those reports
They are not talking about cars houses industries and so forth but population
U know this but choose to act ignorant
I told u before anambra is d most populated Igbo state
Anambra is to ibos what lagos is to Yorubas and kano is to hausas
How many times must this be said for u to understand
Lagos is small but large population
Onitsha is small but large population
Ibadan is large but small population compared to kano lagos Onitsha
Im just tired of saying this everytime but population population population
Ahba!
