He said there was ongoing reconciliation of the Corporation’s revenue figures for February.
Idris also disclosed that the Excess Crude Account (ECA) dipped from $2.3 billion to $1.830 billion after $496 million had been withdrawn for the purchase of Tucano military jets from United States.
At the end of the meeting, the Federal Government received N263.102 billion, while state governments went home with N167.511 billion and local government councils got N126.293 billion.
