Abuja – The cost of servicing debt exceeded the Federal Government’s retained revenue by N310 billion in the first four months of this year, a report of its 2022 fiscal performance has revealed.

According to the document, the Federal Government’s total revenue for the period was N1.63 trillion, while debt service gulped N1.94 trillion.

Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, while giving the updates on the budget performance, said urgent action was required to address revenue underperformance and expenditure efficiency at national and sub-national levels.

“The aggregate expenditure for 2022 is estimated at N17.32 trillion, with a prorata spending target of N5.77 at end of April,” the document reads.

“The actual spending as of April 31st was N4.72 trillion. Of this amount, N1.94 trillion was for debt service, and N1.26 trillion was for personnel costs, including pensions.
