Edo state and Delta State IGR breakdown

EDO state iGR=50 billion 

Delta state iGR=90 billion+ 

Here is why Edo state iGR looks slim 

EDO MUST BREAK THE CAPITAL city MENTALITY 

Delta State gave us the blueprint.

They didn’t sit in Asaba hugging all the money. They threw open the doors

Warri became an oil–marine hub.

Ughelli powered energy and gas.

Agbor rose as an agro-trade magnet.

Today their IGR crosses ₦90 billion a year from many towns, not one.

But Edo? We act as if life ends at Ring Road.

Benin City is overloaded while Uromi, Ekpoma, Auchi, Igarra, Afuze, Sabongida-Ora are left hungry for roads, power and industries. Then we turn around and ask why these areas don’t bring revenue.

🙄 You can’t harvest where you never planted.

Real governance spreads opportunity:

Agro-industrial estates in Edo Central and North.

New tech and creative parks across EDO central and north 

Federal-grade highways linking every senatorial district.

Private-sector incentives that pull big investors to every corner.

Until Edo breaks the capital city mentality, our IGR will remain narrow and fragile.

The lesson from Delta is simple: invest everywhere, and watch revenue flow everywhere.

This is the Edo I dream of and will keep fighting for.
