About these figures
Source: monthly FAAC disbursement reports (net allocations to Gwer West LGA), as published in the National Bureau of Statistics’ disbursement tables. Net means what is left after deductions at source.
Each month is named for when the money was shared, which is the month after the revenue was earned. Only months in our records are listed. A missing month does not mean nothing was paid.
This is what FAAC shared to the council. The constitution routes it through a joint account with the state, so it does not show what reached the council’s own account. An allocation is income: it does not show how the money was spent.
