Oyo State ranks #28 of 38 states by Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) and #21 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.
Oyo 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.
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.
