The Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) has disbursed a total of N2.428 trillion to the Federal Government, states and local government councils, as Federation Revenue grossed N3.913 trillion for September 2026.
FAAC shared the amount during its October meeting in Abuja, Thursday, the Director of Press and Public Relations, Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF), Bawa Mokwa, said in a statement.
The N2.428 trillion September allocations surpassed the sum of N2.338 trillion shared in the preceding month of August by N90 billion.

The sum of N236.049 billion went to oil mineral producing states as 13 per cent derivation revenue.
The N2.428 trillion total distributable revenue for September comprised a distributable statutory revenue of N1.672 trillion and distributable Value Added Tax (VAT) revenue of N756.587 billion.
Although gross revenue was N3.913 trillion in September, total deductions for cost of collection stood at N131.758 billion, while total transfers, refunds and savings accounted for N1.352 trillion.
According to the communiqué, gross statutory revenue of N3.096 trillion was received for September 2026, an amount higher than the sum of N2.850 trillion received in the preceeding month by N246.384 billion.

But Companies Income Tax (CIT), Capital Gains Tax (CGT), Stamp Duties Tax (SDT), VAT, mineral royalties, gas-flaring penalties, rental gas-flaring fees and miscellaneous oil revenue declined during the period.
