Revenue allocation distributes national revenue among federal, state, and local governments. Nigeria uses formula considering: equality, population, landmass, terrain, internal revenue effort.

Sources: federation account (oil revenue, customs, VAT), derivation (13% to oil-producing states), statutory allocation. Current formula: federal 52.68%, states 26.72%, local 20.60%.
