From the total gross revenue of N2.34 trillion available in February, deductions included N89.092 billion for collection costs and N577.097 billion for transfers, interventions, refunds, and savings.

Revenue Decline Noted

The committee reported that February's gross statutory revenue of N1.65 trillion fell by N194.66 billion compared to January's N1.84 trillion. Similarly, VAT revenue decreased from N771.88 billion in January to N654.45 billion in February.
