NIGERIA BUDGETARY ALLOCATION AND THE CONTINOUS MISERY OF THE PEOPLE (PART 1)
NIGERIA ALLOCATION 2018
The Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) disbursed the sum of N3.19 trillion to the Federal Government of Nigeria in 2018 while states received a total of N2.57 trillion within the period under review. The amount disbursed to the Federation comprised of N2.8 trillion as net statutory allocation, N156.98 billion as valued added tax (VAT), N10.66 billion as NNPC refund and the distribution of N128.41billion from the FOREX equalization fund.
Delta and Akwa Ibom States received the highest allocation of N213.63 billion and N202.37 billion respectively. Osun and Cross River States received the least allocations of N22.84bn and N36.95bn in that order. Five trillion naira (₦5,570, 000, 000, 000, 000), that is approximately $13, 925, 000, 000, 000 if the country's exchange rate stood at ₦400 per dollar, the total amount of money disbursed in Nigeria for 2017 and 2018 would amount to that figure. This was the sum total of money spent on this grossly corrupt and retrogressive country called Nigeria. The question then would be, where else is this colossal amount of money in Nigeria really reflecting if not in the private pockets and bank accounts of the politicians?
