November 2025 Federation Account Allocation: N1.928 Trillion Shared Among Governments
In an encouraging display of resource distribution, a total of N1.928 trillion was allocated by the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) among federal, state, and local government councils for November 2025. This meeting, held in December 2025 in Abuja, reflects a crucial step in maintaining fiscal responsibility and improving governance across Nigeria.
According to a recent communiqué from the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF), the N1.928 trillion shared includes N1.403 trillion from statutory revenue, N485.838 billion from Value Added Tax (VAT), and N39.646 billion from the Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL). This comprehensive allocation underscores the government’s commitment to not only enhance financial transparency but also support developmental projects at various governance levels.
The total gross revenue available for November amounted to N2.343 trillion. After necessary deductions, including N84.251 billion for the cost of collection and N330.625 billion set aside for other transfers and savings, the distributable revenue has been effectively optimized for governmental use.
However, it is noteworthy that the gross statutory revenue fell to N1.736 trillion in November, a decrease from N2.164 trillion in October. Similarly, VAT revenue also saw a decline, dropping to N563.042 billion from N719.827 billion in the previous month. These fluctuations may guide policymakers in addressing challenges within revenue generation sectors and strategizing for improved earnings in the future.
Breaking down the allocations, the Federal Government secured N747.159 billion, while state governments received N601.731 billion. Local government councils benefitted from N445.266 billion, alongside N134.355 billion shared among oil-producing states as part of the 13 percent derivation revenue. This distribution exemplifies the cooperative essence of governance in Nigeria, ensuring that all tiers of government are supported and empowered to fulfill their roles effectively.
It’s important to highlight that while traditional revenue sources like the Petroleum Profit Tax, Companies Income Tax, and Hydrocarbon Tax are experiencing declines, sectors like excise duty showed moderate increases, hinting at potential areas of growth and development. In times of fiscal challenge, innovation within the revenue models may be key to enhancing the financial ecosystem and ensuring that governmental operations remain robust.
As Nigeria navigates its economic landscape, the ongoing dialogue about fiscal allocations and their impacts on community development remains critical for fostering a prosperous future. Each stakeholder, from federal to local governments, plays a role in the collective endeavor toward national growth and sustainability.
