FACTS AND FIGURES 

 

FEDERATION ACCOUNT: The Sharing of N611bn in June 2008

 

From documents obtained by Nigeria’s economic magazine, the Economic Confidential a total sum of N611.7bn was disbursed to the tiers of government in June 2008 at the monthly meeting of the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) in Abuja. The total allocation came from accounts of Statutory Revenue, VAT and Domestic Excess Crude Proceeds.

The Economic Confidential in a computed table (below) shows that the disbursements were made to federal government, states (with their Local Government Councils) and two revenue generating agencies (Nigerian Customs Service and Federal Inland Revenue Service). 

From the disbursement in June 2008, the highest recipients are mostly oil producing states of Rivers which received N23bn, Akwa Ibom N16.5bn, Delta N11.8bn,  Bayelsa N10.5bn and Ondo N7.3bn. The highest recipients from non-oil –producing states are Lagos N10bn, Kano N9.6bn, Katsina N6.9bn and Oyo N6.6bn.

The lowest recipients with less thanN7bn as is authoritatively revealed in this table by the Economic Confidential are Ekiti N3.9bn, Nasarawa N3.8bn, Gombe N3.8bn and Ebonyi N3.7bn. Economic Confidential can also confirm other disbursements in June 2008: Federal N189.8bn, FCT Councils N1bn. Though the revenue generating agencies could not benefit from the bonuses from the excess crude disbursement they nevertheless received the monthly statutory and VAT Allocation. Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) received N1.6bn and Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) N2.4bn.
