The three tiers of government shared
N569.4billion from a gross revenue of
N763.6billion generated for the month of June.
The Accountant General of the Federation,
Jonah Otunla, said at the end of the month’s
Federation Accounts Allocation Committee
(FAAC) meeting in Abuja on Tuesday that the
revenue yield for the month was higher than the
N579.3billion collected the previous month by
about N184.3billion.
Total revenue received during the month includes
earnings from mineral revenue of about
N529.9billion and non-mineral revenue of
N233.6billion.
The AGF attributed the increased revenue for the
month to a rise in Company Income Tax (CIT),
import duties and Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT) on
Production Sharing Contract (PSC) and modified
carry arrangement (MCA).
Details of the revenue distribution for the month
showed that total distributable statutory revenue
for the month was N467billion, after about
N88.7billion was transferred to the non-oil
Excess Revenue Account, in addition to
N7.617billion refunded by the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to defray the
N450billion indebtedness to the Federation
Account.
About N207.89billion was transferred to the
Excess Crude Account (ECA).
“The Excess crude account is supposed to serve
as a buffer for the economy,” Mr. Ngama said.
“Whenever available revenue is not up to the
budgeted figure, government will augment for the
health of the economy. The policy government is
pursuing is to raise the balance in the account
to a certain level of not less than $10billion. This
is to ensure that at any time the government has
enough revenue to take care of the allocations
for at least two months.
“As at today, we are moving towards that target.
Today, we have about $6.9billion as the balance
in the ECA, while the balance in the Naira
denominated excess crude account is about
N115billion.”
In addition, valued added tax (VAT) revenue
earnings for the month was N59.22billion, while
about N35.6billion was refunded to the three
tiers of government the Subsidy Reinvestment
and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P)
programme.
The Minister of State for Finance, Yerima
Ngama, said the distribution of the revenue
showed that Federal Government took
N218.3billion, or 52.68 per cent; states
N110.7billion, or 26.72 per cent; local
governments N85.36billion, or 20.6 per cent, and
13 per cent derivation for mineral producing
states, N41.86billion.
