The report stated that the Lagos State Government collected the highest amount of taxes, fees, and levies from telecoms operators in Nigeria.

The telecoms companies that submitted the amount paid as taxes, levies, permits, and fees to Lagos State Government included Airtel, MTN, 9mobile, IHS Nigeria, VDT Communications Limited, and ATC Nigeria.

Also, IHS Nigeria, a telecom infrastructure service provider company, paid N66.12m to the Lagos State Government in 2019.

Findings showed that Lagos State accounted for 32.36 per cent of the total taxes, levies, and fees collected by all states in the country.

Next to Lagos State, the study revealed that Gombe State collected 10.29 per cent of the total taxes, levies, and fees of all the states, followed by Delta State with 8.91 per cent.
