Infrastructural development in every state is the core responsibility of every government. Funding these projects has been a challenge due to insufficient inflow to states from federal allocation and other revenue sources. This puts internally generated revenue pivotal in bridging the gap. The study examined the trend of internally generated revenue and effect on infrastructural development in Taraba state from 2011-2019. The expost facto research design, graphical representation was used with the aid of Minitab 17. The findings of the study revealed that the actual generated IGR falls below the budgeted IGR for the years covered. The actual IGR stands insufficient in funding infrastructural development in the state; this calls for the urgent implementation of the suggested strategies to enhance IGR.
