Internally generated revenue (IGR) of each of the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in 2025, from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
Internally generated revenue (IGR) is the money a state raises itself, mainly through taxes, fees and levies, as opposed to its share of the federation account. In 2025 the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) raised ₦5.15 trillion between them. Lagos raised ₦1.77 trillion, 34 percent of the total.
