FG, States, LGs’ Revenue Receives a Boost as FAAC Shares Highest Allocation of N1.818tn in June

The Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) has shared N1.818 trillion among the federal, state, and local governments as revenue generated in June 2025 — the highest monthly allocation so far this year.
The amount was disclosed in a communiqué issued after the FAAC meeting in Abuja for July 2025. 
The Director of Press and Public Relations at the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF), Mr. Bawa Mokwa, confirmed that this latest distribution marks a significant rise from the previous five months.
In comparison, the amount shared in May was N1.659 trillion, while N1.681 trillion was shared in April.
In March, N1.578 trillion was shared, while N1.678 trillion was shared in February, and N1.703 trillion in January.
The N1.818 trillion shared in July comprised several revenue streams.
These included: N1.018 trillion from statutory revenue, N631.507 billion from Value Added Tax (VAT), N29.165 billion from the Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL), N38.849 billion from exchange difference revenue, and an augmentation of N100 billion sourced from non-mineral revenue.
According to the communiqué, total gross revenue available in June 2025 was N4.232 trillion. From this amount, deductions for the cost of collection amounted to N162.786 billion, while a total of N2.251 trillion was earmarked for transfers, interventions, refunds, and savings.
A breakdown of the gross revenue components revealed that statutory revenue for June stood at N3.485 trillion, a substantial increase of N1.390 trillion compared to the N2.094 trillion received in May.
Conversely, gross VAT revenue dropped from N742.820 billion in May to N678.165 billion in June, representing a decline of N64.655 billion.
From the N1.818 trillion distributable revenue, the federal government received N645.383 billion.
The state governments received N607.417 billion, while the local government councils got N444.853 billion. Additionally, N120.759 billion was distributed to oil-producing states as 13 per cent derivation revenue from mineral sources.
Within the N1.018 trillion statutory revenue segment, the federal government received N474.455 billion. The state governments were allocated N240.650 billion, and the local government councils received N185.531 billion. Oil-producing states got N118.256 billion as part of the 13 percent derivation.
For the N631.507 billion generated from VAT in June, the federal government took N94.726 billion. The state governments received N315.754 billion, while the local governments received N221.027 billion.
Of the N29.165 billion received from EMTL, the federal government was allocated N4.375 billion. The states received N14.582 billion, and the local government councils got N10.208 billion.
Revenue from the exchange difference amounted to N38.849 billion. From this amount, the federal government received N19.147 billion, the states were allocated N9.712 billion, and the local governments got N7.487 billion. A further N2.503 billion was distributed to states entitled to derivation revenue.
The N100 billion augmentation from non-mineral sources was shared, with the federal government receiving N52.680 billion. The state governments got N26.720 billion, while local governments were allocated N20.600 billion.
FAAC also reported that revenue inflows from Companies Income Tax (CIT), Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT), and Electronic Money Transfer Levy increased significantly in June. However, receipts from Oil and Gas Royalty, VAT, Import Duty, Excise Duty, and Common External Tariff (CET) Levies recorded noticeable declines.
The significant revenue boost in June is expected to provide some fiscal breathing space for governments at all levels as they continue to grapple with funding obligations and development programmes amid broader economic adjustments.

    Lawyers Hail Mbah’s Transformative Leadership, Giant Strides in 2 Years

    We’ve reduced violent crimes by 80%, invested in infrastructure, education, says Mbah

    Lawyers and participants at the ongoing Annual General Conference, AGC, of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, in Enugu have commended the governor of the state, Dr. Peter Mbah, for what they described as his transformative leadership in the past two years.

    They gave the commendations on Tuesday during Governor Mbah’s presentation on “Leadership and Transformation,” where he showcased Enugu State, sharing practical strategies he was applying in overcoming barriers and unlocking Enugu’s opportunities.

    Chief Mike Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, said he was familiar with the state over the years and it would be evil for anyone to deny the obvious transformations under Mbah.

    “I come to Enugu every day. So, I am not a stranger at all to Enugu State. It will be difficult for me to deny that I have not seen some groundbreaking projects. To deny your transformative leadership will be sinful, and I do not want to be a sinner,” he said.

    Ozekhome wondered how Mbah was able to “do these great things in a highly politicised environment infested by political buccaneers, and in an environment where there is more politicking than governance.”

    Another lawyer, Senator Dino Melaye, commended Mbah for emerging as a pacesetter in good governance in two years.

    “I am particularly and personally impressed with the governor of Enugu State because all these things have been done in two years. I only can see that you think out of the box,” he said.

    He commended Mbah for putting competence above political considerations in the recruitment of his team.

    “Also, I am impressed with your expertise in the recruitment process, in appointing your political appointees. The intellectual sagacity displayed by them is too much. It gives hope that Nigeria can be fine again. It contributes a lot to the progress you are achieving and have achieved,” he concluded.

    In his presentation, Governor Mbah observed that transformational leadership demanded the audacity to envision something beyond low expectations, insisting that such leaders must ground their work in vision, values, and a disruptive strategy to achieve the desired results.

    “Our vision was to grow Enugu’s economy from $4.4 billion to $30 billion, to reduce the poverty headcount to zero, and to make Enugu the preferred destination in Nigeria for business, for tourism, and for living. We imagined a state that, within eight years, would be completely unrecognisable from the one we inherited,” he said.

    He, however, explained that such humongous vision and targets could not be wished into existence, hence the state’s huge investments in drastic crime reduction and the building of infrastructure to power business, tourism, and investment.

    “None of our visions and targets would have been possible without security. So, from the outset, we built a tech-driven, intelligence-led security architecture anchored in our Command and Control Centre.

    “With round-the-clock AI surveillance across our neighbourhoods, integrated response units (DRS), and community partnership, Enugu has recorded an over 80% reduction in violent crime.

    “This stability is the bedrock upon which investment, jobs, and society can grow.”

    He added that his administration had to its credit over 2,000 ongoing or completed projects cutting across various sectors – health, roads, transport, agriculture, and education, among others.

    He said his administration’s consistent allocation of 33 per cent of the state’s annual budget to education was informed by the recognition that the state’s real wealth now and in the future rested on the quality of its human capital.

    “We committed over 33 per cent of our budget to education – a decision some thought was reckless. But we knew it was essential.

    “Our greatest asset is in the head, the hand, and the heart of our people. Refurbishing classrooms was not enough; we had to completely re-imagine education for the digital age and the future job market.

    “Next month we launch 260 Smart Green Schools – one for every ward in the state. These are integrated, tech-enabled, future-facing institutions that prepare children not just to learn, but to create, to innovate, and to compete in the Fourth Industrial Revolution,” he added.
