 Anambra's IGR Increases by Over 100% in One Year Anambra State has seen a significant surge in its monthly Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), growing from ₦2.2 billion to ₦5.2 billion over the past year—an impressive increase of more than 100%. This achievement was shared by Amara Oyeka, Senior Special Assistant to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on IGR, during the presentation and validation of a study conducted across 21 major markets in the state’s three senatorial zones. The research was part of the Tax for Service Project, implemented by the Tax Justice and Governance Platform (TJ&GP) in partnership with the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) and supported by Oxfam Nigeria.

He revealed that many wealthy citizens in the state avoid paying taxes, and over 50% of collected revenue is often diverted into private hands. “We have a situation where revenue collectors are wealthier than the government,” Oyeka...

 Russia expands e-visas to three African nations


Travellers from Kenya, Eswatini, and Zimbabwe can now visit Russia with a convenient electronic visa, according to a recent announcement by the Russian Embassy in Kenya. 


“The Government of Russia has expanded the list of countries whose citizens can visit the Russian Federation with a single electronic visa. The list now includes following African countries: Kenya, Eswatini, and Zimbabwe,’ the embassy said in a statement on X.


The development is expected to facilitate travel between Russia and these countries, promoting tourism, business, and cultural exchange, authorities added.


According to Russia’s single eVisa information, the document grants citizens of the three countries the right to a single entry into Russia, allowing them to stay for up to 16 days.


Russia-Africa relations


The visa is valid for 60 days from the date of registration and can be used for various purposes.


The introduction of the eVisa policy is a significant step towards simplifying travel procedures and promoting people-to-people diplomacy between Russia and Africa.


Russia has increasingly improved relations with many African nations.


In July, Russia hosted the Russia-Africa Summit and Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum, which brought together heads of state and government, entrepreneurs, academia, and public figures.


On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the creation of a special fund for the development of cooperation between Russia and Africa.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022.
