The 36 states got N143.6 billion from the federation account in September as their share of distributable revenue generated for the month.
The breakdown shows in a report obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) from a source at the office of the Accountant-General of the Federation in Abuja on Sunday.

At the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) meeting in September, federal, states and local governments shared N516 billion as against the N530 billion that was shared in August.
The report showed that the amount distributed included the Gross Statutory revenue, Value Added Tax, exchange gain, N35 billion excess Petroleum Profit Tax and 13 per cent derivation to oil producing states.
