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.
