Nigeria's Federal, State, and Local Governments Share February FAAC Revenue

In February 2025, the Federal Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) disbursed a total of N1.678 trillion among the federal, state, and local governments. This allocation reflects the revenue generated and distributed during the specified month. The meeting, which facilitated this distribution, was held in Abuja and chaired by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun. Key figures such as the Accountant General of the Federation, Shamseldeen Ogunjimi, were also in attendance.
The total distributable revenue of N1.678 trillion comprised several components. A significant portion, N827.633 billion, came from distributable statutory revenue. Value Added Tax (VAT) contributed N609.430 billion, while the Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL) added N35.171 billion. Revenue from solid minerals amounted to N28.218 billion, and an augmentation of N178 billion was also included.
According to the FAAC communiqué, the total gross revenue available in February 2025 was N2.344 trillion. However, deductions for the cost of collection totaled N89.092 billion, and transfers, interventions, refunds, and savings accounted for N577.097 billion. These deductions and allocations reduced the distributable amount to the aforementioned N1.678 trillion.
The gross statutory revenue received for February 2025 was N1.653 trillion, which is lower than the N1.848 trillion received in January 2025 by N194.664 billion.

These figures indicate a decline in both statutory revenue and VAT revenue between January and February 2025.
