Sub-National Intelligence

Fiscal, economic, poverty, and digital metrics for Nigeria’s 36 states and FCT — mapped, ranked, and drillable to the state profile.

Fiscal self-reliance across the federation

Only 4 of 37 states fund at least half their budget from their own revenue. The median state raises just 23% — the rest leans on federation transfers.

100 = an average month. Jul runs 10.6% above average and Apr 7.9% below — a 18.5pt swing that a state budgeting evenly across the year will feel as a cash-flow gap. Computed by ratio-to-moving-average: each month is divided by its own local 12-month trend before averaging, because FAAC grew steeply in nominal naira over the window and a raw within-year share would credit late months with the year's growth rather than with seasonality.
