He said that while net oil and gas revenue projection declined by N5.42 billion from N6.540 trillion to N6.535 trillion, non-oil taxes remained unchanged.

He explained that the Federal Government’s retained revenue was projected to increase by N1.773 trillion, from N8.36 trillion to N10.13 trillion.

Adeola said that the new increase to Federal Government’s expenditure was N5.241 trillion.

Buhari, had in a letter to the Senate dated Oct 4, explained that the revision was necessitated by the need to reflect the new fiscal terms in the Petroleum Industry Act, 2021 and other critical expenditures in the 2022 budget.

According to Buhari, the underlying drivers of the 2022 fiscal projections, such as oil price benchmark, oil production volume, exchange rate, GDP growth, and inflation rate reflect emergent realities.

They also reflected that the country’s macroeconomic outlook remained unchanged as in the previously approved 2022-2024 MTEF/FSP, he stated. (NAN)
