Anambra State will receive funds from Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) as 13 percent derivatives.
This as the balance in Nigeria’s Excess Crude Account (ECA) has reduced significantly from the $35.7 million it was as of June 2022 to $376,655.09 as at July 25, 2022.
This is according to a communiqué issued at the end of the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) meeting for July 2022, held in Abuja Tuesday.
Though no explanation was given for the huge drop in the ECA, the slump came as allocation to the federal, state and local governments increased by N121.624 billion as FAAC shared a total sum of N802.407 billion for June.
The sum of N680.783 billion was shared in the preceding month of May and N656, 602 in April, Thisdaylive reports.
However, the rise in June allocation was attributed to tremendous increases in Companies Income Tax (CIT) and Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT), although oil and gas royalties declined marginally.
