The Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) has announced a groundbreaking revenue disbursement of N15.26 trillion by the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) to federal, state, and local governments in 2024.
This figure represents the highest allocation recorded in Nigeria’s history and marks a significant 43% increase compared to previous years. The surge in disbursements was attributed to fiscal reforms such as the removal of fuel subsidies and adjustments to foreign exchange rates, which bolstered oil revenue remittances.
