Nigeria’s Federal Government sets a target of ₦2.5 trillion for independent revenue in 2026. Reporting across outlets describes the move as part of broader efforts to strengthen fiscal discipline and increase non-oil revenue. The coverage links the goal to ongoing actions to broaden the country’s revenue base beyond oil, with emphasis on improving revenue collection and compliance.
One report frames the target as an outcome of intensified initiatives aimed at raising non-oil income by 2026, while another specifically notes that the independent revenue target is raised to ₦2.5 trillion for that year. Both accounts present the figure as a key policy benchmark for the government’s fiscal planning and highlight the role of regulatory oversight, including the Fiscal Responsibility Commission’s involvement in driving efforts to improve revenue performance.
The articles do not provide detailed breakdowns of which revenue streams will contribute most to the ₦2.5 trillion target, but they consistently state the government’s 2026 independent revenue objective and the focus on non-oil income generation.
