FAAC allocation in 2020 not bad

  • Oil-producing states get N31.9bn in Oct, as FAAC distributes N604.004bn

  • Falls just 5% to N7.14trn in 11 months

  • May surpass 2019 figure at year end

By Elizabeth Adegbesan

Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) revenue to the Federal Government, 36 states and 774 local governments fell by just five percent to N7.14 trillion in eleven months  (January to November) from  N7.46 trillion in the same period of 2019.

Going by the recent trend in the volume of FAAC allocation, it is likely that the 5.0 percent gap would be wiped out with the year end distribution, surpassing the 2019 full year figure of N8.2 trillion.

This is contrary to presumptions earlier in the year that government revenue was under massive pressures from the impact of COVID-19, a sentiment that had lead to average 25 percent cut in the already enacted Appropriation Act of the Federal Government as well as all the 36 states.

The over-stated revenue pressure has also lead to massive borrowings from both local and international sources by the government.

FAAC data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed that the highest allocation of N780.93 billion was made in April 2020 while the lowest allocation of N601.1 billion was made in October.

Further analysis showed that the Federal Government received N2.8 trillion, states received N1.96 trillion and local governments received N1.47 trillion during the eleven months period.

The remaining N91 billion was shared among oil producing states as derivation allocation and the revenue generating parastatals of the Federal Government.

Top 5 states with highest  FAAC allocations in H1’20 are Delta (N111.8 billion), Lagos ( N50.03 billion), Akwa Ibom (N93.05 billion), Rivers ( N88.3 billion) and Bayelsa ( N70.5 billion).

States with lowest FAAC allocations in H1 ’20 are Cross river (N24.3 billion), Gombe ( N24.4 billion), Osun ( N25.5 billion), Plateau (N25.8 billion) and Ogun (N26.9 billion).

The actual revenue of 36 states in Half year 2020 (H1’20) stood at N2.77 trillion. This comprises N2.16 trillion FAAC allocation and N612.9 billion Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).

The five leading states with highest IGR in half year 2020 are Lagos (N204.5 billion), Rivers- N64.6 billion, Delta (N30.8 billion), Kano- N17.5 billion, Akwa-Ibom- N16.2 billion.

The Bottom 5 states with lowest IGR are Jigawa (N3 billion), Ekiti (N 3.2 billion), Adamawa (N3.8 billion) and Gombe (N3.9 billion).

2021 FAAC, IGR

Meanwhile, Twelve out of the 36 states have projected a revenue of N2.9 trillion to fund their budget of N2.95 trillion. The projected revenue consists of N1.3 trillion Internally Generated Revenue, IGR, and N1.6 trillion FAAC allocations.

The states are Ebonyi (IGR at N12.08 billion, FAAC at N52 billion), Edo (IGR at N36 billion, FAAC at N71 billion), Kano (IGR at N24 billion, FAAC at N52 billion), Kogi ( IGR at N57 billion, FAAC at N115 billion), Kebbi (IGR at N12.2 billion, FAAC at N42 billion) and Kwara (IGR at N28.7 billion, FAAC at N4 billion)

How to jump-start Nigeria economy post-COVID-19 Pandemic

Nwali Tochukwu Watching with consternation the fall out of events, actions, and inactions of our Nigerian leaders on mitigating the negative impact of COVID-19 Pandemic disruptions on our social and economic lives. As a young dynamic business and entrepreneurship writer, and author cum small business owner, what came into my mind as we navigate the storms of COVID-19, was a common English phrase Adages, Proverbs, first recorded in Fuller’s Gnomologia, 1732: ‘A stitch in time saves nine’ which was translated to literally, solve the problems right now! Why procrastinating? If we, as a nation wants to break away from past mistakes, and present mistakes, we should hold the bull by the horn right now. And avoid the roads of political expediency. That is exactly what the stitch in time simply stood for. Promptly address issues posed by Coronavirus. By quickly sewing up of a small hole or tear in a piece of material, so saving the need for more stitching at a later date when the whole ha...
