Okonjo-Iweala Seeks Speedy Approval For N1.8trn External Borrowing Plan

The Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala, on Thursday in Abuja asked the National Assembly to quickly approve the Federal Government’s external borrowing plan of $7.9b about N1.8 trillion.

Okonjo-Iweala made the request during an
oversight visit to her office, by members of the
House Committee on Finance.

President Goodluck Jonathan had written the
Senate and House of Representatives in
February seeking approval for the loans to fund
key projects in various sectors of the economy.

Nigeria is seeking the loan facility from the
World Bank, Africa Development Bank, Islamic Development Bank, Exim Bank of China and India lines of credit.

"We have an external borrowing plan that we
have put to the National Assembly, as we are
required to do and I am really counting on your
help to get out the borrowing plan as quickly as
possible.''

The minister said that the loan was required to complete some ongoing projects captured in
the 2012 budge

rusher14:
We know those who have caused division amongst the people using differences in tribe or religion.

Sambo goes to the North telling the electorate not to vote APC because it is a Christian party - they've got a running mate who is a pastor.

Jonathan comes down south telling the people not to vote the opposition because they are an Islamic party.

hurricaneChris:
This nigga though.

We sincerely acknowledge that Mr GEJ did everything wrongly.
Ejor, tell which one Buhari has got right.

Or is he justifying the bad things Jonathan did?

saintkel:
For calling GEJ ineffectual buffon, I lost d appetite to read dis nonsense u call a thread. What's d point of dis thread wen its ist lines shows disrespect n contempt to our Hero of modern Democracy

Progressive01:
Shut the hell up. Were Jonathan and Iweala also trying to Islamize Nigeria when they approached the IDB for loan??

Were they trying to "Buddhanize" and "Hindunize" Nigeria when they approached China and India for loans??

Why must you people put a religious angle to every action Buhari takes??

Buhari is a criminal and can't be trusted with anything at all...
The zombies trusted him with lots of things when he was shouting change up and down.. 18months has passed and his is yet to lift a finger..

He should be stopped now before its too late!!

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:


chijioke? that name is synonymous to something disgraceful worldwide.

I'm happy, at least I'm sure your brain has already been deflected by recession induced hunger..

So chances of something sounding like another to you has increased..

Who knows where you are even typing from, Yaba-left?

But he is an ineffectual buffoon

hurricaneChris:


Common man, i am just sitting down under temperature of about 17 degrees celcius, reading some comments on this thread.
Why you sounding so frustrated?

You as a person criticized every policy or move Jonathan govt made, why are you supporting same now?
Is that how pathetic the Nigeria has turned you blokes?
