Nigeria’s three tiers of government shared ₦1.969 trillion in FAAC revenue for December 2025, marking a steady rise.

The Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) has officially distributed ₦1.969 trillion to Nigeria’s three tiers of government for December 2025. 

The announcement came following the committee's first meeting of the year, held this January in Abuja.

This latest payout shows a positive trend in national earnings. The total distributable sum is an increase from the ₦1.928 trillion shared in November 2025. 

While the gross revenue actually reached a massive ₦2.585 trillion, several deductions for collection costs, refunds, and savings brought the final shareable amount to the current figure.

The breakdown shows that the State Governments received the largest portion this time, taking home ₦706.469 billion. The Federal Government followed with ₦653.500 billion, while Local Government Councils were allocated ₦513.272 billion. 

Additionally, oil-producing states shared ₦96.083 billion as their 13% derivation revenue.

The money was pulled from three main "pots":

• Statutory Revenue: ₦1.084 trillion
• Value Added Tax (VAT): ₦846.507 billion
• Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL): ₦38.110 billion

A look at the numbers shows that the Nigerian economy saw a major boost in specific sectors during December.

Companies Income Tax (CIT), Import Duty, and VAT all saw significant increases. Oil and gas royalties also grew slightly.

However, it wasn't a win across the board. Revenue from Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT), Excise Duty, and the Electronic Money Transfer Levy saw notable drops compared to previous months. 

Despite these dips, the overall increase in the federation account provides much-needed financial breathing room for the states and local governments heading into the new year.
