Abstract

In Nigeria, there was the Presidential elections, which took place on 25th February, 2023, and the Governorship elections, which was held on 18th March, 2023. However, on May 29th, 2023 the New President and the Governors were sworn in, so as to take over the affairs of the Country and the various States of the Federation. It was observed that majority of the State’s Chief Executive Officer, realised the need to look for more revenue apart from the monthly revenue from the Federation Account, so as to do more good things for their people. The paper examined a research proposal on Haulage System using Osun State of Nigeria as a case study. Secondary sources of information were relied upon. The methodology adopted was qualitative research method. The Author also conducted an in depth interviews on some key Stakeholders on revenue matters in the State. The study examined various sources of revenue that are available to a State Government, with a focus on revenue generation on Haulage System, which is one of the viable internal sources of revenue. The research proposal concludes as follows: ( a ) It is better to make use of an experienced revenue Consultant to drive revenue on Haulage Business, and collect the revenue on behalf of the State Government. ( b) The Osun State Government and the Consultant should ensure that there is proper accountability in the activities of all Stakeholders, that are involved in the revenue drive and generation. ( c) There should also be transparency in the collection and keeping of funds realised from the revenue generation on Haulage System. ( d ) More indigene of Osun State will be gainfully employed, either as a supporting Staff or as one of the Supervisor. ( e ) It is time for the State Government to look into the possibility of Digitalizing the generation and collection of revenue so as to collect more revenue for the benefit of the Citizens.
