Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Finance was established in 1960, the year of Nigerian independence, and manages the finances of the federal government, including controlling and monitoring federal revenues and expenditures. Headquartered on Ahmadu Bello Way in Abuja's Central Business District, it operates under a dual leadership structure in which politically appointed ministers work alongside a permanent secretary who runs its day to day bureaucracy. Wale Edun serves as finance minister and coordinating minister of the economy, with Taiwo Oyedele as minister of state for finance.

This atlas's own pre-existing entity-description states 1960 (year of Nigerian independence), but no primary Nigerian government source confirming an exact founding year was confirmed live during this pass (a Devex organization profile returned HTTP 403; the Nigerian High Commission's own banking-and-finance reference document named no founding date). Recorded as partially-attested rather than treating the description's own uncited claim as sourced; founding-date left unfilled. Classification
