IGF: Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly records GH¢2.46 million for the 2025 fiscal year
Assembly hits 75% revenue target as MCE calls for stronger local revenue mobilisation
The Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly has generated a total of GH¢2,461,828.78 in Internally Generated Funds for the 2025 fiscal year, achieving 75.11 percent of its annual target, Municipal Chief Executive Roland Atanga Ayoo has disclosed.
Addressing stakeholders during his one-year anniversary engagement at the Regional House of Chiefs in Bolgatanga, the MCE described the performance as a modest but important improvement over performance in 2024.
“Our Internally Generated Funds for January to December 2025 stood at GH¢2,461,828.78, representing 75.11 percent of our annual target.” He stated.
Ayoo noted that while the Assembly did not fully meet its revenue target of GH¢3,278,000.00, the improvement signals growing efficiency in local revenue mobilization efforts.
He emphasized that IGF remains a critical source of funding for the Assembly’s operations and development initiatives, especially in the face of delays in external inflows.
“The Assembly is also benefitting from the District Assemblies Common Fund and other donor-funded projects, though disbursements are often delayed.” He explained.
According to him, releases from the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) for the first three quarters of 2025 amounted to over GH¢10.59 million, which supported key projects in education, health, and sanitation.
Despite these inflows, the MCE acknowledged persistent financial constraints and called for strengthened revenue mobilization strategies to boost the Assembly’s fiscal capacity.
The stakeholder engagement formed part of activities marking his first year in office, bringing together traditional authorities, assembly members, civil society actors, and residents to review progress and chart a path forward for the municipality.
