Nigeria's Federation Account Witnesses Improved Revenue Inflow

The Minister of Finance , Mr Wale Edun, says that the Federation Account is witnessing improved revenue inflow since the removal of subsidy from an average of N650 million monthly to over N1 trillion in the last four months. The minister stated this on Monday in Asaba at the opening ceremony of a four-day retreat organised for members of the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC).
