Anambra State ranks #26 of 38 states by Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) and #27 by total budget size. Like most Nigerian states, it relies significantly on FAAC allocations from the federal government.
IGR (Internally Generated Revenue) is money a state collects from within its own economy through taxes, levies and fees — without depending on the federal government. FAAC (Federation Account Allocation Committee) distributes shared national revenue — mainly from oil sales and VAT — monthly to all tiers of government. States with high IGR like Lagos are fiscally independent, while most states depend on FAAC for over 60-80% of their revenue.
Anambra State is an oil-producing state and receives 13% derivation funds from crude oil revenue produced within its territory. Oil and gas activities significantly boost its federal allocation compared to non-oil states.
