Finance and Coordinating Minister Wale Edun announced that the federal government posted an impressive N20 trillion in revenue for 2024—a marked increase from approximately N12.5 trillion in 2023.

He highlighted that in the first four months of 2025 alone, receipts surged to N6.9 trillion, driven by improved automation, leak prevention, and stronger fiscal management systems.

Edun also mentioned that rising revenue has helped reduce the debt-service burden at a stakeholder engagement forum held in Abuja on Monday.

He expects the debt-to-revenue ratio to hover around 60% by year-end 2024, signalling stronger fiscal health thanks to increased transparency and more disciplined financial governance.

At the same event, Dr. Armstrong Takang of Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI) delivered sobering insight into Nigeria’s housing crisis.
