  "summary": "The Federal Government, 36 states, and 774 local government councils in Nigeria allocated N2.428tn from the Federation Account in October 2026, marking a 3.85 per cent increase from N2.338tn distributed in September. This rise was attributed to a recovery in statutory revenue, driven by improved petroleum-related taxes, royalties, and import duties, despite a dip in Value Added Tax collections. The allocation, which reflects the revenue generated in September, was approved during the Federation Account Allocation Committee's meeting in Abuja on Thursday.",
