Nigeria Distributes Over ₦2 Trillion in July Revenue Amid Economic Updates
In a significant financial update, the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) has announced the disbursement of a hefty ₦2.001 trillion in revenue for July 2025. This distribution will benefit the Federal Government, various States, and Local Government Councils across Nigeria. The announcement was made in a recent FAAC meeting held in Abuja, with insights shared by Bawa Mokwa, the Press Secretary to the Accountant General of the Federation. The excitement surrounding this financial allocation highlights the ongoing efforts to bolster economic stability across the nation.
The revenue shared this month comprises a variety of sources: ₦1.282 trillion in statutory revenue, ₦640.610 billion from Value Added Tax (VAT), ₦37.601 billion sourced from the Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL), and ₦39.745 billion stemming from exchange differences. This diverse income stream is crucial for maintaining the country’s growth trajectory, which continues to adapt to the evolving economic landscape.
Breaking it down further, the Federal Government will receive ₦735.081 billion, while the States are set to gain ₦660.349 billion. Local Governments are also beneficiaries, receiving ₦485.039 billion. Notably, oil-producing states will enjoy an allocation of ₦120.359 billion, reflecting their 13% derivation share, which is vital for their development and infrastructural progress.
However, it’s essential to note that while gross revenue for July reached ₦3.836 trillion, this represents a decrease of ₦415.108 billion compared to June’s figure of ₦3.485 trillion. This fluctuation is being analyzed as stakeholders remain committed to finding innovative ways to enhance revenue streams in the future.
On a more optimistic note, VAT collections saw a positive increase, rising to ₦687.940 billion from ₦678.165 billion in June. This indicates a strengthening consumer base and confidence in the economy as businesses adjust to market demands.
As Nigeria continues to harness its economic potential, such fiscal reports from FAAC not only spotlight the immediate financial distributions but also emphasize the long-term commitment to economic growth and sustainability across the country.
