Economic Confidential, October 2008

FACTS AND FIGURES

 

FEDERATION ACCOUNT: ANOTHER DOUBLE ALLOCATION IN SEPTEMBER 2008

Statutory and VAT Disbursement: N715bn

Augmentation: N31bn

 

As media sources reported different figures on the monthly Federal Allocations to tiers of government in September 2008, from documents obtained by Nigeria’s economic journal, the Economic Confidential, two allocations were actually made for the month from the Federation Account. The allocations are the Statutory which included VAT Allocation totaling N715bn and Augmentation from the Excess Crude Account totaling N31bn. They are all net disbursements after deductions at the monthly meeting of the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) in Abuja.

The first 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). The second table is additional allocation as Augmentation from the Excess Crude Account to augment shortfall on the month’s disbursement.  

From the disbursement, the highest recipients are mostly oil producing states of Rivers which receives N20.7bn, Akwa Ibom N14.7bn, Delta N10.7bn,  Bayelsa N9.2bn and Ondo N6.7bn. In the second allocation from the augmentation in the next table Rivers receives N1.8bn, Akwa Ibom N1.3bn, Delta N932mn, Bayelsa N853mn and Ondo N551mn.

The highest recipients from non-oil –producing states are Lagos N9.7bn, Kano N9.1bn, Katsina N6.6bn and Oyo N6.4bn. In the next table from the augmentation Lagos receives N477mn, Kano N635mn, Katsina N473mn and Oyo State gets N456mn.

The lowest recipients with less thanN4bn in the table are Ekiti N3.8bn, Nasarawa N3.6bn, Gombe N3.7bn and Ebonyi N3.5bn. Also in the second allocation for augmentation Ekiti receives N668mn, Nasarawa N656mn, Gombe N658mn and Ebonyi N632mn.

The Economic Confidential can also confirm other disbursements in September 2008: Federal Government receives N177bn and FCT Councils get N1bn. They also have additions from augmentation. FG for instance has N36bn and FCT local government councils have N125mn.

The revenue agencies only receive statutory and VAT allocation. The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) receives N1.9bn while Federal Inland Revenue Service gets N3.3bn

SEPTEMBER BONUS OF N31BILLION AS AUGMENTATION TO FEDERAL, STATES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

The Economic Confidential discoverers that a sum of N31.4 billion was taken from the excess crude account to augment the budgetary shortfall for the month. The budgetary shortfall was due basically to the shut-ins and vandalisation of pipelines which had adverse effect on the volume of production. 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 standardizedthe highest recipients in the second disbursement for Augmentation during the meeting of the Federation Account in September 2008 are Rivers State N1.8bn, Akwa Ibom N1.3bn, Delta N932mn, Bayelsa N853mn and Ondo N551mn. Other recipients are Lagos receives N477mn, Kano N635mn, Katsina N473mn and Oyo State gets N456mn.
