Documents from the Federation Account Allocation Committee revealed the structured disbursement process. The records, obtained from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, detailed systematic funding flows. Notably, authorities released the funds in 23 equal tranches of N100bn each. Each tranche moved through a transit account with immediate matching disbursements.
Consequently, the account maintained a zero balance after every transaction cycle. Initially, the programme began in October 2023 with a N100bn opening balance. Soon after, officials transferred and disbursed funds consistently across multiple allocations. During the first phase, ten tranches covered allocations between September 2023 and June 2024.
As a result, the phase delivered a total of N1tn to security agencies. Subsequently, the second phase extended from July 2024 into mid-2025 with similar patterns. Likewise, authorities distributed another N1tn through ten equal tranches. Interestingly, the third phase introduced three additional tranches totaling N300bn. Altogether, cumulative disbursements reached N2.3tn within the intervention programme timeline.
However, the documents did not specify exact allocations across individual agencies. Furthermore, they excluded detailed breakdowns of projects or operational expenditures. Despite this, analysts note the programme’s consistency and scale over two years.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government approved N450bn for non-regular military allowances in 2025. Officials released the funds in three tranches from non-oil revenue sources. Ultimately, the funding highlights a sustained commitment to strengthening national security operations.
