Documents presented at Federation Account Allocation Committee meetings showed that the remittances came from crude oil exports, gas sales, royalties, penalties and other petroleum earnings.

The government introduced the policy to improve transparency and stop revenue leakages in the oil sector.


NNPC transferred $87.63m and N121.34bn from February earnings, while March receipts brought in another $29.28m and N42.64bn.

The commission also paid N34.2bn from royalties, gas flare penalties and concession rentals into the Federation Account during the review period.


The fresh inflows are expected to raise monthly allocations to federal, state and local governments as authorities battle rising spending demands and debt pressure.

The policy also comes as the government pushes for tighter control of oil revenue and better oversight across the petroleum industry.
