The NBS disclosed that 2022 IGR figures for the states had two major revenue sources namely, taxes and Ministries, Departments and Agencies’ revenue.
It noted that the taxes sub-category recorded in the period included Pay As Your Earn, direct assessment, road taxes, stamp duties, capital gain tax, withholding taxes, other taxes and LGAs revenue.
