May surpass 2019 figure at year end By Elizabeth Adegbesan Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) revenue to the Federal Government, 36 states and 774 local governments fell by just five percent to N7.14 trillion in eleven months (January to November) from N7.46 trillion in the same period of 2019. Going by the recent trend in the volume of FAAC allocation, it is likely that the 5.0 percent gap would be wiped out with the year end distribution, surpassing the 2019 full year figure of N8.2 trillion. This is contrary to presumptions earlier in the year that government revenue was under massive pressures from the impact of COVID-19, a sentiment that had lead to average 25 percent cut in the already enacted Appropriation Act of the Federal Government as well as all the 36 states.
