Delta State has grown its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from about ₦84 billion in 2023 to over ₦200 billion, a remarkable increase of more than 138%, driven by strategic reforms and economic diversification under Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda.
The milestone came to the fore on Monday in Asaba during an assessment visit by a delegation from the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), which evaluated the state’s economic diversification and revenue generation initiatives.
During the visit, the Commission commended Delta State’s deliberate investments in agriculture, industrialisation, innovation and other non-oil sectors, describing the state’s diversification drive as a model for building a resilient economy and achieving sustainable long-term growth.
