‘Akwa Ibom IGR hits N7 billion’

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno

The Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has expressed satisfaction with the performance of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) policy, revealing that in just three months, the state’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) has risen from N2 billion to N7 billion monthly.

The TSA policy, introduced on January 1, 2026, mandates all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to remit all government revenues into a single, centralised account to ensure transparency and accountability.

Speaking during the Government House Monthly Prayer Service at the Latter House Chapel, Eno reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to raising the state’s IGR in the next few months to a financially sustainable point where it can pay workers’ salaries.

“We want to make our state self-sustaining and sufficient. In the next few years, we should be able to raise our IGR to a point where it can, at least, pay our salaries.

“From our TSA, which started a month ago, it’s indeed heartwarming that our IGR has suddenly risen from N2 billion to N7 billion monthly,” he said.

Eno urged all MDAs and relevant financial stakeholders to abide by the set rules and standards of the TSA to boost revenue generation, warning that any act of compromise or sabotage would be treated accordingly.

He also stated that his administration’s development strides are based on the ARISE Agenda, his economic blueprint, and the needs documents presented to him by people across the state.

“I want to assure Akwa Ibom people that we are still running on the development blueprint that we presented to the state, and we are working tirelessly to ensure that we achieve the goals of the people’s mandate,” he said.

The governor said development is not automatic, adding that his administration is executing projects and programmes sequentially for the sustainable transformation of the state.
