Speaking at a special evening of music and camaraderie held at the Lagos House, Ikeja, to usher in the Yuletide season yesterday, Governor Ambode said as at December 16th 2016, the State had raked in N287billion IGR for the year under review as against N268.2billion generated in 2015. He applauded taxpayers for living up to their responsibilities by paying their taxes promptly.
"The truth is that the people have been carrying out their civic obligations and somehow we have been returning those obligations with the services that we have provided and you found out that this year; we have actually made more IGR than last year under a recession. So, somehow, we need to appreciate all the people that have made this to happen and then I look at the way I could use Arts, Entertainment, Tourism and Hospitality not only to promote the excellence that Lagos has always been known for but to provide another sector of revenue for Lagos State and I felt one of the ways to go about that was to invite our old celebrities that we seem to have forgotten and spend an evening with them,” he said
I admire ur hardworkin nature

Lagos is a country on its own.
ReplyDeleteIt's a model to other states. But they should take it easy with the way they go about generating this money from people.

Your comment will be visible after approval.
The only thing we have not started paying for in Lagos is our breath... so I ain't surprised!
ReplyDeleteKudos Ambode
Generating more revenues means your are putting more burdens on Lagos citizens and tax payers to pay more fees, toll gate, dues, taxes...making life more dificult for Lagosians in this recession. Not something to be proud of!!
ReplyDeleteLagos state is great, while every other state are crying about lack of money and recession, and lagos state is cruising to success.
ReplyDeletePoor judgment Ambode, when you convert it the N287b to US dollars to get the real value, what was generated in 2016 will be like 55% to 60% of 2015
ReplyDeleteWe lead while the others follow..
ReplyDeleteEko on I baje...kudos Abombe.
Lasgidi State Of Mind!
Of course your revenue will be higher and you will be proud to say. That's because you hardened your grip on Lagosians just so as to make more money for your godfather tinubu. God will judge you if after taking all that money, you dont use it for what it's meant for.
ReplyDeleteGOOD FOR U

ReplyDeleteYea by fleecing residents of Lagos state. Hidden taxes etc. For example was it ever communicated to the public that you now tax water? Pure water and dispenser bottle refills now costs alot more. You've earned more to the detriment of the citizens
