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.
Kogi State is not classified as a major oil-producing state and does not receive the 13% derivation fund. Its economy depends on agriculture, commerce, solid minerals and services, with federal FAAC allocations as the primary government revenue source alongside IGR.
