World Bank Approves $2.1bn Loan For Seven Projects In Nigeria by DONSMITH123(m): 4:32pm On Jun 28, 2018 |
The World Bank has announced the approval of $2.1bn loan for seven projects to be executed in Nigeria. A statement issued in Abuja on Thursday said the loans were approved in Washington on Wednesday and are for seven projects to support Nigeria’s investment in nutrition, access to electricity, states’ fiscal transparency, polio eradication, women’s economic empowerment, public finance and national statistics and reducing vulnerability to soil erosion. World Bank Country Director for Nigeria, Rachid Benmessaoud, was quoted to have said, “The Federal Government of Nigeria’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan identifies human capital investment, restoring growth, and building a competitive economy as its key pillars. The projects approved by the International Development Association, the bank’s low-interest arm, are expected to support Nigeria’s economic growth plan. Growth rates in Nigeria have bounced back since the third quarter of 2016, when a recession, its first in 25 years, bottomed out. Growth returned largely due to higher oil prices, with the country relying on crude sales for much of its revenue. However, growth slowed again in the first quarter of 2018, as the country’s non-oil sector struggled. The government expects growth to rise to a pre-recession level of 7 percent by 2020. The World Bank said more than half of the loans would be used to fund power and climate change projects and boost fiscal transparency. It also approved a $7 million grant for nutrition. Nigeria privatised most of its power sector in 2013 but retained control of its dilapidated monopoly transmission grid, often blamed for hobbling growth. The country intends to raise $2.8 billion of debt offshore to help part-finance its 2018 budget and plans to explore all options to lower costs, the debt office head told Reuters. The debt office said it could tap capital markets or concessionary loans from the World Bank after the 2018 budget had been approved. http://punchng.com/breaking-world-bank-approves-2-1bn-loan-for-seven-projects-in-nigeria/ 1 Like 1 Share |

Good development but world bank and the federal government really needs to put in place more stringent controls to monitor the disbursement of the funds by the project implementation units. I have had the opportunity of auditing a world bank assisted project and the loan was wasted on useless consultancy services and international tours. This huge sum should be properly monitored for effective utilisation. 20 Likes 1 Share |

The money will be looted anyway. So no need to approve any loans for Nigeria. Our oil sales should be enough. But, of course, looting won't allow. Useless country! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Besides, giving us high interest loans only enslaves and impoverish our population. The administration that collects the loan won't repay it. The burden will be on another administration to repay a loan that was collected and then looted. Useless country! 1 Like 1 Share |

One can hardly open any thread and read reasonable comments anymore on NL. The forum has lost its glory, Seun needs to sit up and get rid of most of his mods who push low quality posts to front page. We now have more of low-IQ kids posting all sorts of rubbish just for 'likes and shares' It's a pity what have become of a once great forum 13 Likes 3 Shares |

These guys should stop helping us with loans or even grants. We do not need it. We are rich enough. The money will be used for political campaigns and as national cake. You want to help Nigerians, help us with visas. We will bless you if you open your gates to assylum seekers #STOPLOANSANDGRANTS #STOPFINANCINGEMBESSLEMENT #HELPUSWITHVISASINSTEAD |

They shouldn't have approved it rara... They just wasted the money and made some thieving idiots richer with that approval. The only way it would be used for the said purposes is if they personally monitor it to the end |
