Economic Confidential, November 2008

EXCESS CRUDE ACCOUNT:

OCTOBER BONUS OF N71BILLION AS AUGMENTATION TO 3 TIERS

 

The Economic Confidential discoverers that a sum of N71.4 billion was taken from the excess crude account to augment the budgetary shortfall at the meeting of the Federation Account Allocation in October 2008. The total figure almost doubles the allocation from the same source and purpose in the preceding month of September 2008 where N31bn was disbursed. The essence of augmentation is to enable the three tiers of government to continue with their projects despite price fluctuations or reduction in the volume of production. The amount of money that is allocated to each state is standardized. The highest recipients in the second disbursement (for Augmentation) during the meeting of the Federation Account in October 2008 are Rivers State N4.3bnbn, Akwa Ibom N3bn, Delta N2bn, Bayelsa N1.9bn and Ondo N1.2bn. Other recipients are Lagos which receives N1bn, Kano N1.4bn, Katsina N1bn and Oyo State gets N1bn.

 

While the Federal Government receives N32bn other states like Ekiti gets N609mn, Nasarawa N599mn, Gombe N600mn, Ebonyi N577mn and Area Council in FCT N114mn. Please see the other Allocation for the same month from HERE
