Nigeria’s Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) reported a significant revenue decline of N194.664 billion in February 2025, with the total distributable revenue falling to N1.678 trillion from N1.848 trillion in January 2025. This drop reflects a challenging fiscal month, despite gains in specific revenue streams.
According to the FAAC communiqué, the N1.678 trillion was shared among the federal government, states, and local government councils. The federal government received N569.656 billion, state governments took N562.195 billion, and local government councils were allocated N410.559 billion. Additionally, N136.042 billion, representing 13 percent of mineral revenue, was distributed to benefiting states as derivation revenue.
The total distributable revenue of N1.678 trillion was composed of several components: N827.633 billion from statutory revenue, N609.430 billion from Value Added Tax (VAT), N35.171 billion from the Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL), N28.218 billion from solid minerals revenue, and an augmentation of N178 billion. While oil and gas royalties and EMTL saw notable increases in February 2025, other key sources—VAT, Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT), Companies Income Tax (CIT), excise duty, import duty, and CET levies—experienced declines, contributing to the overall reduction in revenue.
The decrease underscores the volatility in Nigeria’s revenue streams, posing challenges for fiscal planning across the three tiers of government as they navigate economic pressures in early 2025.
