  "summary": "The World Bank has reported a significant reduction in deductions from Nigeria's Federation Account, following President Bola Tinubu's Executive Order 9 of 2026. The order eliminated the management-fee and Frontier Exploration Fund deductions from profit oil and gas, and redirected gas-flaring penalties to the Federation Account. As a result, total deductions fell from N10.1tn in the first half of 2025 to N8.4tn in the same period of 2026, representing a 16.8% decrease and a 1.2 percentage point drop as a share of the nation's GDP. This reduction has led to an increase in distributed Federation Account revenues from N7.6tn in H1 2025 to N10.5tn in H1 2026, a 38.2% rise.",
