Nigerian states depend on funding from the federal government as well as revenue generated domestically to pay for both ongoing and capital expenditures (IGR). Some of the states may struggle to survive since they don’t produce much revenue, while others may get by without it.

Four Northern states in Nigeria, however, might struggle to survive without assistance from the federal government.

The four states in the north are

1. Jigawa

Jigawa only produced N8.6 billion in IGR (8.1%) despite receiving N107 billion in government support, according to the Annual State Viability Index (ASVI). This indicates that their income from sources other than the federal government was less than 10% If they don’t get allocated, they can struggle to survive.

2. Kastina

The northern state of Kastina has not produced much money. The government gave Kastina N130 billion, but she only made N11.3 billion (8.8%).

3. Adamawa

Compared to wealthy states such as Lagos, Adamawa does not produce as much revenue. Adamawa’s GDP was only N8.3 billion (9.1%) despite receiving N91 billion in federal funding.

4. Yobe

The IGR of Yobe state is N7.7 billion. The federal government allotted N84 billion to the northern states, but they produced just 9.2% of the total.

However, because they produce a lot of internal money, Lagos, Rivers, and Delta can survive without assistance from the federal government.
