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.
Ondo 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.
Data note: IGR and FAAC figures are sourced from published FAAC distribution reports and state appropriation laws. Population figures are NBS estimates. All amounts in Nigerian Naira (₦). For the most current data refer to the OAGF and individual state ministry of finance publications.
