Federal Government Presents Records of N5.15tn Security Fund Disbursement via FAAC
What happened
The Federal Government presented records detailing the management of funds through FAAC in Abuja. Between November 2023 and September 2026, the government disbursed N5.15tn in special intervention funds to the Nigerian military and related security agencies. The total funds received into the dedicated account were N5.65tn, with the disbursement representing 91.15% of the total. The ledger was prepared by the Federation Account Department of the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation and presented to FAAC.

Why it matters
This massive expenditure of N5.15tn was designated for security operations amid persistent insecurity across Nigeria. The intervention funds were sourced from the Federation Account, non-oil revenue, and FAAC withholding accounts. These disbursements were separate from the regular annual budgetary allocations to security institutions.
The Nigerian federal government is currently conducting reforms and holding meetings of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies in Abuja.
