Loan loan loan...The only thing our leaders know, they don't know how to maintain and make money for the country.

I know government is not here to make money but we should have means to sustain it. Our population is about 200 million plus and our savings is just barely below 50 million US dollars. While the government don't reason how to grow this savings at least to be proportionate to the size of the population.

Omooba77:
The Federal Government will take another fresh external loan of $247.3m for the development of infrastructure, despite the country’s rising debt profile.

The Federal Executive Council made the approval at its sitting in Abuja on Wednesday.

It came just days after the International Monetary Fund raised eyebrows over Nigeria’s current N24.38tn debt, advising the country to take borrowing slowly.

Briefing State House correspondents after the meeting rose, the Minister of Finance, Mrs Zainab Ahmed, gave a breakdown of the fresh loan.

She stated that $150m would come from the African Development Bank, to be spent specifically on rural electrification projects; $50m from Africa Grow Together Fund for other electrification projects; and $20m from French Development Agency, which would be loaned to the  Lagos State Government.

Lagos plans to use the $20m to build new roads and rehabilitate existing ones.

Another $27.3m IADE facility was approved as part of the ‘North Core Dorsal Regional Transmission Project.’

This will be part of the West Africa Power Pool projects with a total loan requirement of $640m.

The minister explained that the projects were to connect Nigeria, Niger, Benin Republic, Togo, and Burkina Faso “with a high voltage 330 kilowatts transmission line, to facilitate energy trade among participant countries.”

The minister, who gave more details on the approvals by FEC, said, “Council approved three memos for Ministry of Finance. First, it approved a $150m loan facility from AfDB and $50m loan from African Grow Together Fund to finance the Nigerian electrification project. The project is a nationwide initiative to be implemented by the rural electrification agency.

“The project aligns with the strategy of the Federal Government on electrification of rural communities. The project has four components: First is solar hybrid mini-grid for rural economic development, the second is productive appliances equipment for up-grid communities, and the third is energising education while the fourth component is institutional capacity building.

“The impact of the project when fully implemented, about 500,000 people will be able to have access to electricity for about 105,000 households. The maximum power that will be generated will be 76.5 megawatts installed generating capacity part of which is 68,000 megawatts of solar.

“Eight universities will benefit from this scheme and about 20,000 small, micro, medium enterprises across different communities in the nation.

“The second approval is the North Core Dorsal Regional Transmission Project. This is a project that is part of the pipeline for the West Africa power pool priority projects. The intention is for the creation of a regional power pool in the region of West Africa. The pool project aims to connect Nigeria, Niger, Benin Republic, Togo, and Burkina Faso with a high voltage 330 kilowatts transmission line, to facilitate energy trade among participants.

“The project is in the total sum of $640m, out of which each of the four countries involved has a component. Nigeria has the smallest component in this pact, which is a total loan of $27.3 m IADE facility, a concessionary loan. This is a loan that the four countries are taking together; the other three countries have concluded theirs. So, this is one of the final stages for Nigeria to conclude its process.”

We shouldn’t forget that the borrowed money comes with a serious interest and debt default fees. The world is slowly moving away from oil. Where will Nigeria get the money to pay up?

APC and Buhari have to pay for the prosecution of the “elections” and the tribunal which Atiku appears to have all the facts and logic on his side.


It will be only by the grace of God that Nigeria wouldn’t be saddled with a debt of plus $100bn at the end this regime.

When you look at the actions of Buhari and APC apologists you get the feeling that it wasn’t only hatred for GEJ, the minority tribesman that they had, but utter, complete, sadistic, insidious hate of Nigeria as a country.

And we have got to ask ourselves why.

When Buhari and his Forty Foolish thieves are done borrowing and we are unable to pay back(which would most likely be the case), the Chinese would come for their property(Nigeria and Nigerians in it) and Colonialism begins anew; and those political gods some of you have sworn to defend under the sun and in the rain would migrate to other countries with their families to enjoy their loot, and they'll make modern slaves out of whoever is left.

That is my fear

the conditions for the loans will not be public knowledge till shit hits the fan.

Africans in their usual stupid self will continue to be short sighted.

Look at Zambia and Djibouti now
in China trap

those who stole the money will be in Switzerland's enjoying

Same witt Nigeria when shit hit fan

but when you raise the alarm, the same idiots you are trying to save will be the one castigating you guys
