From a total of N1.620 trillion which accrued to the Federation Account Allocation Committee in November 2023, the nine oil-producing states in Nigeria received a total sum of N75.410 billion as 13 percent of mineral revenue.

FAAC disclosed this in a communique, weekend, noting that outside the 13 per cent mineral revenue, the federal, state, and local governments received N1.088.783 trillion in revenue in November.

In perspective, Nigeria’s revenue-sharing formula requires that the nine oil-producing states, including Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bayelsa, Delta, Imo, Edo, Ondo, and Rivers, receive 13 per cent as oil revenue derivative.

“A total sum of N75.410 billion (13 per cent of mineral revenue) was shared with the benefiting States as derivation revenue”, FAAC stated.

The figure is an enormous increase compared to the amount received in August 2023, which was N12.324 billion.

FAAC said the balance in the country’s Excess Crude Account was 473.754 million dollars.

DAILY POST reports that the Special Adviser to the President on information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said recently that state governors in Nigeria have no reason to fail following the revenue allocation at their disposal.
