The Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) has disbursed a total of โ‚ฆ2.551 trillion to the Federal Government, 36 states, and 774 local government councils as Federation Account revenue for June 2026.

From the Statutory Revenue, the Federal Government received โ‚ฆ849.366 billion, state governments secured โ‚ฆ430.810 billion, and local government councils were allocated โ‚ฆ332.136 billion. Additionally, oil-producing states received โ‚ฆ197.610 billion as a 13% derivation fund.

In the VAT distribution, the Federal Government obtained โ‚ฆ74.072 billion, state governments received โ‚ฆ407.398 billion, and local government councils were allocated โ‚ฆ259.253 billion.
