Nigeria’s top earners from the 13% oil derivation fund in 2025 were all oil & gas-producing states, reinforcing the continued dominance of crude production in shaping sub-national revenues.
The ranking is based on FAAC net derivation data comparing 2025 receipts with 2024 figures across beneficiary states.
In 2025, all nine beneficiary states recorded strong year-on-year growth compared to 2024, total received by the states was N1.51 trillion, compared to N671.92 billion, reflecting higher distributable oil revenues and improved federation inflows.
