Civic Education
How national wealth reaches your doorstep
The road you drive on, the primary school near you, and the health centre in your ward are partly funded by public money that starts in a national pool.
The National Purse
Every month, federally collected revenue enters a common pool. This includes major revenues like oil-related income, customs, and company taxes. But not every part of the pool is shared the same way.
The First Split
For NET Federation Account revenue, FAAC shares money among the Federal Government (52.68%), states (26.72%), and local governments (20.60%). Separate rules apply to VAT and derivation.
Why Lagos Gets Its Share
Lagos receives a state allocation based on population and equality. Depending on resources, it may also benefit from the 13% derivation fund, making its real inflow more complex than one headline percentage.
Ikeja Is the Real Local Link
The money does not jump straight from Abuja to your ward. Ikeja is the government layer that is closer to your everyday services.
What You Should Feel in Alausa/Oregun
If public money is working, you should see it here: cleaner streets, functioning health centres, better schools, maintained roads, and visible projects. This is where allocation becomes accountability.

FAQ
Questions people ask
OurNigeria is an open-source civic tech platform built by a coalition of data scientists, journalists, and active citizens.
We source data directly from official government gazettes, FAAC monthly reports, Auditor-General reports, and verified citizen submissions.
We update our database monthly as new FAAC allocations are published, and continuously as state and local governments release their budgets and implementation reports.
Data availability depends on what the government publishes. While FAAC and state budgets are generally available, granular ward-level project data is often missing from official records. We publish everything that is publicly accessible, but we also rely on citizens like you to submit and track projects in your locality.
You can flag any data point directly on the platform. Our verification team will review it against official records and update it if necessary.
Yes! All our datasets are open and available for download. You can export budgets, FAAC allocations, and project tracking data in CSV format.
Use the data to ask informed questions. When you see a project marked as 'funded' but abandoned in reality, you can use the contact details provided in the 'Know Your Leaders' section to reach out to your representatives.
Yes, OurNigeria is 100% free to use. We believe public data should be publicly accessible without barriers.
