Others in the first 10 are Katsina state in the seventh position garnering N44.80bn, Oyo got N43.78bn, Kaduna took 9th position with N42.60bn and Borno state got N39.63bn.

The computations further reveal that the states with the lowest allocations from the Federation Account in the period under review are Kwara with N26.48bn, Ekiti got N25.57bn, Nasarawa came 34th with N25.41bn, Ebonyi  got N24.91bn, and Gombe came last with the least allocation of N24.87bn.

Meanwhile, a graphical look at the six geopolitical zones in the country in relation to the computation shows that the South-South states put together got the first position in the Federal Allocation Table within the period under review with a total N368bn, the North-West zone came second with the sum of N283bn, and the South-West states got the third position with N262bn.
