FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE, ABUJA

PRESS STATEMENT

The Federal Ministry of Finance wishes to address recent media reports suggesting that the Federal Government has discontinued the practice of allowing revenue-generating agencies such as the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), and the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to deduct their cost of collection at source.

We categorically state that these reports are inaccurate and misleading.

At no point during his remarks at the Nigeria Development Update (NDU) programme hosted by the World Bank did the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, announce or imply any change to the existing policy on the cost of collection deductions.

For the avoidance of doubt, there has been no policy change regarding the deduction of costs of collection at source by revenue-generating agencies. The current framework remains in effect.

What is underway are ongoing policy discussions in line with the directives of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to review cost of collection structure. These discussions are part of broader efforts to enhance transparency, efficiency, and value-for-money in public financial management. However, no final decision has been made on this matter.

The Ministry assures all stakeholders and the public that revenue operations continue uninterrupted and that any future adjustments will be guided by due process, stakeholder engagement, and clear communication.

We urge media organisations to seek clarification from official sources before publishing information that may cause unnecessary confusion. The Ministry appreciates the continued support of Nigerians as we work collectively to build a stronger, more transparent, and sustainable economy.

People wey get sense don start dey talk, I promised I won't argue with anyone anymore, I don't want to name the people I know that are Custom officers ranging from family members, friends and neighbors both close and far, we know their pays, we know their lifestyle both those who are getting just their salaries and those who have juicy posting and are getting dirty money, the blood money someone here keep saying is dirty money, nothing bloody about custom, but anyways we don't know the context of his so called 'blood money' 😅

smartkester:
Customs isn't any blood money, they're just cooperate thieves. If you want to work with integrity in customs you won't make the money you're thinking they make. Again, the department and state you work is also a factor. So there's nothing like blood money in Custom's. But sadly, the average Nigeria has settled it in his mind that he would also partake in the corruption when he gets into the system.

If it's true then this is commendable, I repeat uniform work is based on posting. You don win. Abeg 🙏🙏

Oromiyeoluwa:
Baba,make I burst your brain,they hav increased their salary 100%...they implemented 50% first ,the remaining 50% starting from Jan 2026....sit down ...dey argue .....they collect quarterly allowance...13 moth dey...hazard......sit down there....dey play...you go argue tired....go confirm.....100%legit

State them please, and has the take-home changes from 240+ for entry level..??

freddybonz:
But customs actually has allowances

We no dey follow you drag na 😂😂

Oromiyeoluwa:
E go soon clear for your eye....smiles....
E go shock you....make burst your bubble...customs is now financial autonomy......they pay as firs....
Go and confirm

Mohisah! Mohisah!! Mohisah!!! How many times I call you 😂 please don't argue, another REA Warrior spotted, Custom is the next big thing after cheese balls، the same job that has no allowances 🥺🥺 All uniform work, and I repeat all UNIFORM jobs depends on Posting nothing extraordinary, **blood money indeed**

Mohisah:
resolved btw y'day & today?

You're 100% right boss

Mohisah:
this same thing i quoted you for y'day... Agencies that hates to review wages must do it this time. Office enjoyment no suppose end for management level😹

We are talking about COST OF COLLECTION here, and even the 4% FOB you are saying has been suspended due to backlash from businesses, it has been suspended indefinitely for wider stakeholders consultations, so for now nothing .

Oromiyeoluwa:
Yes,it is true but it is not going to affect customs,customs dey collect its own 4% fob.....it is 100% win win

Someone should confirm the above Please, so that we settle the issues of people here saying FIRS will get juicy which I don't think so, this government want all of these monies to itself and not any agency as we are speculating, even those eating before are being stripped of their duties and we think some other agency will enjoy.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SCRAPS REVENUE COLLECTION DEDUCTIONS!

The Federal Government has announced plans to permanently halt deductions for the cost of revenue collection paid to agencies such as the Federal Inland Revenue Service, the Nigerian Customs Service, and the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, among others.

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja while speaking at a panel session after the launch of the October 2025 edition of the World Bank’s Nigeria Development Update, titled “From Policy to People: Bringing the Reform Gains Home.”

Edun revealed that following a presidential directive, several layers of deductions previously made before sharing proceeds from the Federation Account Allocation Committee have now been scrapped to improve fiscal transparency and ensure that more resources reach the three tiers of government.

“Funds have flowed to the Federation Account, but the point is this: efficiency of that spending is critical We have been mandated by His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu to take a look at deductions, not just the deductions for cost of collection, but deductions generally, as we saw, when you look at the gross figure, you see all kinds of deductions before you get to the net distributable figure, which goes to the federal state and local governments. And I must inform that even during the last FAC allocation, most of those deductions have been removed once and for all.”

According to the minister, the reform is part of the government’s broader effort to strengthen fiscal governance, promote transparency, and ensure that federal and subnational governments have more predictable revenues to fund development projects.

He added that the government was reviewing all forms of deductions from gross revenues, including refunds and interventions, to ensure that every naira collected is efficiently used for national development.

“The constitution says that funds should flow from revenue-collecting agencies into the federation account and be distributed according to the then formula, and that is what is now being done. And we can expect it’s a work in progress in terms of the review of the different deductions, but what we can expect is greater transparency, efficiency, funding for development at the federating units, the federal government and the states, and of course, flowing from the states to the local governments. So we are looking at a much stronger fiscal situation. We are going to be looking at much stronger accountability, transparency, and efficacy of spending. We are cleaning that up because efficiency and transparency are key to achieving fiscal sustainability,” Edun explained.

Under Nigeria’s fiscal structure, the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Nigerian Customs, and other agencies have traditionally retained a percentage of revenues they collect as a “cost of collection.” Critics have long argued that the practice encourages inefficiency, inflates administrative expenses, and reduces the amount distributable to federal, state, and local governments through FAAC.

Danancy:
Good morning
I will appreciate anyone with information about when MOFI will share appointment letters or if they have shared already.
Thanks in anticipation

That's the problem with Private sector, the pay is super good, you'll learn alot, but your body go dey tell you

Mohisah:
On a normal. NUPRC is better than going to IOCs where you must sweat out that fat salary😂💔 No room to collect AC in peace

Allahumma Ameen, soon in Shaa Allah

Ima86:
We are just hearing from a distance. Oh God, when are we going to touch it also? May God grant us our heart desires soon.

Some NNPC staff are also going there too sir

Mohisah:
Smiles! I didn't quote for NNPC, just said if at all it us 2m, then allowances makes it just like Nimasa, FAAN etc. NUPRC on the other hand is a place i go to esp now that they're together with FIRS in same location.. The enjoyment in NUPRC makes it so good that everyone runs to that place for shelter; no salary, no wahala.

We no dey drag or argue here again na we all chose to believe what we want na, it's a free world you don't owe anyone here any explanations.

damilare96:
Even with payslip
They said your friend isn’t telling the truth
Issokay

Okay sir noted😂 I Sha won't share the payslip before the increment 🙏🙏

Deltavariant:
with all due respect sir, your friends are economical with the truth. Case closed.

🙌🙌

smartkester:
Excellent, you're well informed and knowledgeable.

This is also true, I've said it here times without number that we overestimate the pays of these agencies, that's why someone will get a job in a decent place but due to what he has been reading here he will be disappointed when he receive his first pay, when this debate came up around April this year about NNPC GT total package, even on Twitter it was just debates everywhere, I contacted TWO of my friends who were NNPC staff 2019 set which means they have spent 5 years, they didn't know I asked the both of them same question, one is in head office while the other is in Benin, they both laughed and said even they that have spent 5 years in NNPC don't have monthly take-home of 2M, they have allowances but as the writer below have said not all are monthly, some are annual, quarterly or often, one of them said people overrate their pay just because they hear NNPC, if 5 years staff don't earn 2M let alone GT, these are friends turned brothers, I see their payslips, one had to share just to clear my doubts even though he knew I didnt doubt him, we often compare the lifestyle of people we know in senior management level to new entrants, that's why NNPC staff rush at any opportunity of secondment at NLNG as one of them got recently. it's only put more pressure on them and over expectations, According to a survey in 2024 by Nigerian Financial Services Market that ONLY 2.4% of NIGERIANS earn above N200k. You can fact check all of the things I've said above. Bayo did an increment recently which I haven't seen the Payslip since then. They're good but we overrate them

smartkester:
The problem is most of you overrate these agencies. They pay well no doubt but you guys overrate them. If not that you guys overrate them how would someone say NNPC pays 2m to GT. Haba! Let's fear God

We really need it sir, we will get in touch with the big guys in the house, they know themselves, @Mohisah Please you'll have to come up with your colleagues, our team of elders that only talk when situations are out of hand, make una come give us blueprint 😅😅

Sultan8:
Updated agencies grade rankings underway >>

Rightly so ✅ Bureau of Public Procurement BPP is a statutory, independent regulatory authority created by the Public Procurement Act (2007) to regulate and oversee public procurement across federal MDAs , it is not administratively part of a single ministry while Bureau of Public Enterprises BPE is an agency that serves as the Secretariat to the National Council on Privatisation (NCP) and implements the federal privatisation programme, it reports to the NCP (the NCP is chaired by the Vice-President), not directly to a single ministry, So they both report to the Presidency, also you're right about both being a good place most especially BPP

smartkester:
I have no idea about agencies under Presidency but it should be decent too with some benefits. I think BPP and BPE should be under Presidency not sure but they're good agencies too

Aah I shock o! Elders in the house, e be like say we go pin new updated ranking for taskbar oo

Mohisah:
You just wake up dey share Grade-A anyhow
For u to compare NUPRC to TCN eh i no fit talk again..

Let's enjoy the thread peacefully

No, they don't use the same scale, some are very poor even though they're under presidency while some are good, let the name 'Presidency' not deceive you, HARDLY will you find an 'A' class agency under presidency, most are poor and average with some very very few good ones

oluxmondd2:
Please do agencies under “Presidency” use the same salary scale? If yes, what is their salary range?

Alayé be calming down 🙌🙌

smartkester:
Sorry you're absolutely right I forgot TCN.

NERC and TCN are on the same level. They're Grade A-agencies on the same level with likes of NMDPRA and NUPRC.

HYPADEC is probably on grade B

Boss I saw what you did there

Mohisah:
okay this means Nimasa pays 100k+ & FAAN 65k then
Abdull01 shebi naso nau😁

Most of these agencies only do replacements and not recruitment that's the problem, May God help us all

Sirtas007:
Thanks boss, hmm my cv has been there for over 2years nw and every time my connect got in touch with the es the es will be like we haven’t gotten approval yet. And in between that period I knw personally they have recruited twice or so. Though someone said it was replacement and permanenting of contract staffs. The last time we made a move we were still told that they are awaiting approval.🤦🏻‍♂️
