Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Government of Nigeria, States and Local Government Councils shared N7.23trillion from the Federation Account in 2020.<\/p>\n

The fund comprises collections by revenue generators, including Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) and Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).<\/p>\n

Every month, the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), chaired by the Minister of State for Finance, meets with State Commissioners of Finance for disbursement.<\/p>\n

In 2020, while the Federal Government and its agencies received N3.04trillion, States and LGs got N4.18trillion.<\/p>\n

The N4.18trillion is N232billion lesser than the N4.4trillion the two tiers received in 2019.<\/p>\n

Claims of zero allocation to LG bosses, totally false \u2013 Akwa Ibom Assembly insists<\/p>\n

In a report by Economic Confidential, Lagos is ranked the highest recipient with a sum of N299billion in twelve months.<\/p>\n

Delta received N247billion, Akwa Ibom N212billion, Rivers N198billion and Kano N174billion. The five states got 25 percent of total allocation.<\/p>\n

Other states in top 10 were Bayelsa N152billion, Katsina N130billion, Oyo N127billion, Kaduna N124billion and Borno N115billion.<\/p>\n

The lowest recipients were Gombe N72billion, Ebonyi N73billion, Nasarawa N73billion, Ekiti N74billion and Kwara N77billion.<\/p>\n

Edo, Ondo, Cross River, all oil-producing states, got N99billion, N97billion and N86billion respectively.<\/p>\n

Factors that influence allocations to states and local councils include population, derivation, land mass, revenue generation drive, school enrolments, health facilities, water supply, among others.<\/p>\n
