Gross Revenue Hits ₦4.5 Trillion
FAAC disclosed that Nigeria generated a gross revenue of ₦4.5 trillion in June 2026.
Before the distribution, ₦160.74 billion was deducted as the cost of revenue collection, while ₦1.79 trillion was applied to transfers, interventions and refunds, leaving the balance for distribution among the Federal Government, states and local governments.
Revenue Growth Driven by Tax and Customs Collections
The committee attributed the higher June FAAC Allocation to improved revenue performance across several key sectors.
Revenue growth was driven by increased collections from:
Companies Income Tax (CIT)
Value Added Tax (VAT)
Petroleum royalties
Import duties
Nigeria Customs Service collections
However, FAAC noted that earnings from Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT), Hydrocarbon Tax and mineral royalties recorded declines during the period.
Boost for Government Spending
The improved statutory and VAT revenues pushed the June FAAC Allocation to one of the highest monthly disbursements recorded in 2026, providing additional fiscal resources for the Federal Government, state governments and local government councils to fund infrastructure, public services and development programmes.
The increased allocation is expected to strengthen government spending across critical sectors, even as authorities continue efforts to improve non-oil revenue generation and enhance fiscal sustainability.
