Most Nigerians are unaware that the country has a vital financial institution known as the Federation Account. Created under Section 162 of the 1999 Constitution, this account is designed to collect and store every kobo of revenue generated by the federal government. From there, these funds are shared among federal, state, and local governments.
In essence, the Federation Account serves as the financial heartbeat of our nation. However, it is facing severe challenges.
Consider these striking figures:
- In 2025, a staggering ₦14.94 trillion - almost 40% of the federation's total revenues - was deducted before reaching the Federation Account.
- The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) withheld ₦500 billion of the ₦1.1 trillion that was due in 2024.
- A current FAAC investigation is delving into allegations of $42.37 billion in under-remittances that occurred between 2011 and 2017.
- Debt service accounted for an alarming 69% of federal revenue last year, significantly exceeding the IMF's recommended safe benchmark of 30-40%.
- Our total public debt has now ballooned to ₦159.27 trillion.
In essence, we are borrowing against funds that we have already earned because that revenue never reaches the Federation Account.
To address this urgent situation, I have crafted a policy reform proposal for the President @officialABAT to enhance Executive Order 9. This step is crucial for ensuring the financial integrity of our federation.
Let’s engage in meaningful dialogue about how we can restore the heartbeat of our nation’s finances. Watch the full video to explore this pressing issue further.

“Do You Have Any Challenges?”
Those Were The Words Of Governor Alex Otti After He Suddenly Stopped His Convoy And Walked Into a Military Base Along Ngwa Road During a Routine Inspection In Aba.
“How Are You? How Is Work Going? Is The Commander In?” Governor Otti Asked The Soldier On Duty.
The Officer Quickly Took Him To Meet The Commander, Captain T. Yabiteigha, Who Was Clearly Surprised By The Unplanned Visit.
Governor Otti Said:
“Sorry We Took You Unawares. I Was Just Passing And Decided To Check On You People. Are There Any Challenges We Should Know About?”
Before The Officer Could Say Much, Governor Otti Looked Around And Added:
“I Can Already See This Place Needs Renovation.”
The Soldiers Then Showed Him Their Faulty Operational Vehicles And Poor Working Conditions.
Immediately, Governor Otti Directed That The Vehicles Be Repaired Or Replaced Without Delay And Ordered The Renovation Of The Base, Including Installation Of Solar Lights.
Then Came The Emotional Moment.
Captain Yabiteigha Told The Governor:
“Sir, You May Not Remember Me, But Last Year You Paid My Hospital Bills And Supported The Family Of Our Colleague Who Died During An Attack. You Even Gave Scholarship To His Children. I Have Been Looking For a Way To Thank You For Saving My Life.”

In a rare show of toughness against a corrupt official, the judge ordered that the sentences attached to each of the 12 counts run consecutively, not concurrently. A concurrent term would have amounted to seven years’ imprisonment, the highest imposed for any of the counts.
