If I could just get a nice updated map of where Nigerian incubation hubs and tech startup centers are located, it would be like a nice cup of hot coffee for me this cold autumn morning.

Not bad at all. The exterior looks cool. I personally am not a fan of CcHub's exterior. The managers of the building are really slacking in the maintenance dept. |

You know that cchub building has some other tenants too, and it hosts too many people. That was why they rented an extra floor I really like the exterior of this Eccohub but i don't like the interior tbh. Looks too dark. Maybe it's the camera All in all, everything starts from somewhere. It can only get better |

By Modupe Gbadeyanka Oyo State government has dismissed 662 workers from its workforce for various offences including certificate forgery. Also, it has wiped out about 2,021 fictional names on its payroll. Addressing newsmen on Tuesday in Ibadan, the state capital, the state’s Head of Service, Mr Soji Eniade, explained that the government took these decisions after the completion of a thorough verification exercise. Furthermore, he stated that at the last State Executive Council (SEC) meeting, the government discussed the need to restructure the civil and public service of the state in terms of quality and quantity. According to him, the Bank Verification Number (BVN) made it possible for the state government to expunge the 2,021 fictitious names discovered on its payroll. In his analysis of the dismissed 662 staff, he said 305 of them were from the local government service, 152 from MDAs, 149 from the Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), 28 from parastatals, 26 from higher institutions of learning and two from the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB). “We only reckoned with West African Senior School Certificate (WASSCE), Ordinary National Diploma (OND), Higher National Diploma (HND), Degree certificates and other higher certificates,” he explained. Speaking on the 2,021 fictitious names removed from its payroll, Mr Eniade said “1,432 are pensioners from the state, 84 pensioners from the local government, while 505 are from other sectors of the service.” www.businesspost.ng/2016/12/07/oyo-sacks-662-workers-removes-2021-payroll/ |

Oyo targets N107bn IGR to finance 2017 budget
The Oyo State Government said the 2017 budget proposal of more than N207bn which was presented to the state House of Assembly was designed not to rely on statutory allocation from the Federation Account.
While giving the budget analysis, the state Commissioner for Finance, Abimbola Adekanmbi, said the government planned to raise its Internally Generated Revenue to N107.2bn in 2017, adding that such move would liberate the state from hinging its budget on fund from federal allocation.
According to the budget presented by Governor Abiola Ajimobi to the house, N59bn which represents 28.41 per cent of the budget is expected from the federal account. Presently, the state makes N1.5bn from IGR monthly, which amounts to N18bn annually. But Adekanmi said the amount would multiply in multiple folds after the state government realised areas where revenues were being lost over the years.
He said there was no plan to raise tax or impose arbitrary levy on the citizens of the state. He also explained that after holding meetings with the informal sector like traders and transporters in the state, players in the sector had agreed to contribute to the state revenue and ease it of financial difficulties it went through in the past two years.
He said because there were millions of players in this sector, huge revenue would be realised to finance the budget and rely less on statutory allocation.
Adekanmbi said, “The state government is determined to block financial leakages and review its revenue drive. Lots of revenue can be generated from IGR if properly designed and pursued but we also need the cooperation of the people, which we are sure of getting. The informal sector has suddenly realised that it can help finance the budget and drive the state economy with little contribution from the members. This will amount to huge fund because the sector has large population, more than the formal sector.
“The projection of government is to realise N40bn from the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development while the Health Insurance Scheme will generate more than N8bn. These are just two of the top 20 revenue generating ministries, departments and agencies of government.”
The commissioner said each market in the state was expected to pay agreed amount to the state coffers monthly, adding from the amount paid, necessary amenities would be provided in the markets.

I don't know how serious Ajimobi is about pulling-off such a fantastic (to say the least) feat. lol. But I'll reckon it an impressive achievement if the state can even increase its IGR to just one-third or one-fourth of that set target sef. Truth is it actually can be done, just that it'll require some serious brainstorming on how to harness the enormous resources of the state. Sadly I'm beginning to think that Ajimobi may have run out of ideas, but seriously I'm hoping he proves me wrong.

Ajimobi like Amosun can set targets eeehn  It's very possible but it won't happen under his stewardship because he has no idea how to do it. Even Ibadan alone should be able to generate 80billion a year. Oyo state is as big as the whole SE yet still dragging 16 bn IGR per annum with the likes of Enugu and Edo. It's shameful |

It's shameful I must concede though that I wish so much that the state can pull it off as this would be a worthy and remarkable case-study on how to grow IGR without having the edge of a Lagos or Oil-Rich Niger-Delta state. |

Sadly I'm beginning to think that Ajimobi may have run out of ideas, but seriously I'm hoping he proves me wrong. Your scepticism here is fully justified. It's simply impossible to raise IGR by more than 5x in a single year while leaving all taxes and fees unchanged. I don't think such a feat would be possible in 3 years, even if taxes could be increased at will. This is fantasy budgeting of the worst kind. |

It's sad though though that those facts are from the olden days. We need to carve several new niches for Ibadan.
