FG, States and Local Governments Receive ₦2.094 Trillion from Gross ₦2.934 Trillion for October 2025
The Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) has announced that the three tiers of government — the Federal Government of Nigeria (FG), the 36 States and the 774 Local Government Councils — collectively received ₦2.094 trillion from revenues generated for October 2025.
The gross revenue for October stood at ₦2.934 trillion. From this amount, deductions totalling ₦115.278 billion were made for cost of collection, while ₦724.603 billion was allocated for transfers, interventions, refunds, and savings — leaving ₦2.094 trillion for distribution.
Breaking down the distributable revenue: statutory revenue contributed ₦1.376 trillion, Value Added Tax (VAT) revenue amounted to ₦670.303 billion, and the Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL) added ₦47.870 billion.
In the final sharing: the Federal Government got ₦758.405 billion; the States collectively received ₦689.120 billion; and Local Government Councils were allocated ₦505.803 billion. Additionally, oil‑producing states together received ₦141.359 billion as their 13% derivation entitlement.
These monthly allocations follow the revenue‑sharing framework established by the Allocation of Revenue (Federation Account, etc.) Act — under which revenue accruing to the Federation Account is vertically allocated among federal, state and local governments.
The October 2025 disbursement reaffirms the ongoing fiscal arrangement under which Nigeria’s three tiers of government depend significantly on shared federal revenues.
