In October, expenditure rose MoM by 28.4 per cent to N1.83 trillion from N1.43 trillion in September. In its Economic Report for October, the apex bank said: “From the federally collected revenue of N1,988.47 billion, a net balance of N1,298.87 billion was distributed to the three tiers of government after accounting for additional revenue and statutory deductions and transfers. The federal, state, and local governments received N424.87 billion, N450.96 billion and N332.63 billion, respectively, while the balance of N90.42 billion was allocated to the 13% Derivation Fund for oil-producing states.
