Federal Government targets ₦2.5 trillion in independent revenue by 2026

This target follows the Commission's monitoring of approximately ₦1.84 trillion in independent revenue generated by Ministries, Departments and Agencies as of September 2025. Abana stated that efforts are being intensified to improve transparency in revenue reporting, ensure timely remittance of operating surpluses into the Consolidated Revenue Fund, and eliminate revenue leakages. The Commission has also updated its Operating Surplus Calculation Template to align with current fiscal realities and the Finance Act 2020, with the template now fully automated for improved efficiency.

Senator George Akume, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, called for stronger collaboration among fiscal and oversight institutions to enhance transparency, accountability, and prudent management of public finances, emphasizing the Fiscal Responsibility Commission's critical role in Nigeria's fiscal governance framework.
