LegendHero:Lol. You mean fx backlog is part of national debt? This is comedy. When did fx backlog become debt? Who was it borrowed from and what's the rate? Ok. What of the $3.3bn borrowed through NNPCL and the 2.2bn sovereign bond. You see how you are now? |

Agbegbaorogboye:I was only telling you that even after we cleared $7bn backlog, Tinubu only took our debt 2bn + more. If you don’t have $$ in reserve enough, you will borrow $$ to clear backlog. How can you not know this simple thing? Every borrowing we make is part of the external debt. That’s the Federal government total debt. FG repay loans and then take loans. Below is the breakdown of external debt, you can see the loan from Exim is captured. Clap for Tinubu abeg. How could be pay $8bn backlog, raise net reserve upward and yet he only borrowed $2bn more in almost 2 years. E no easy abeg

Agbegbaorogboye:An educated individual should recognize that a forex backlog significantly affects a country’s debt dynamics. It increases borrowing costs and accelerates currency depreciation, making existing foreign-denominated debt more expensive to service. This situation can ultimately hinder Nigeria's financial stability. |

Agbegbaorogboye:If you have any iota of sense based on the information already provided to you, you should know by now that Tinubu has significantly reduced our debt and not increased it. Our national debt in dollar terms has gone down and that’s majorly the currency of repayment. The increase in Naira terms of our debt is simply because of the exchange rate difference and not because Tinubu has taken any significant net loan. We moved our exchange rate from the unrealistic $1/N460 to a market driven $1/N1500 which has now help us to increase our net reserve from $3.9b to $23billion. For sensible folks, they should be excited about the magic Tinubu is doing and not this hate filled Peter Obi kind of ignorant talk. |

Tinubu govt has been more prudent than its previous counterparts. https://allafrica.com/stories/202410010205.html. Nigeria: How We Reduced Nigeria's Debt Service Ratio, Cleared Forex backlog-Tinubu. 1 October 2024Premium Times (Abuja) By Mary Izuaka "We inherited a reserve of over $33 billion 16 months ago. Since then, we have paid back the inherited forex backlog of $7 billion," he said. President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday said that his administration adopted a disciplined approach in the management of Nigeria's monetary policy by reducing the debt service ratio significantly. Mr Tinubu, who spoke in a televised Independence Day broadcast, said the approach adopted by the Central Bank of Nigeria to monetary policy management has ensured stability and predictability in the foreign exchange market. "We inherited a reserve of over $33 billion 16 months ago. Since then, we have paid back the inherited forex backlog of $7 billion," he said. "We have cleared the ways and means debt of over N30 trillion. We have reduced the debt service ratio from 97 per cent to 68 per cent. Despite all these, we have managed to keep our foreign reserve at $37 billion. We continue to meet all our obligations and pay our bills." He noted that the nation is moving ahead with its fiscal policy reforms. "To stimulate our productive capacity and create more jobs and prosperity, the Federal Executive Council approved the Economic Stabilisation Bills, which will now be transmitted to the National Assembly. "These transformative bills will make our business environment more friendly, stimulate investment and reduce the tax burden on businesses and workers once they are passed into law," he said. The federal government had, in the past, relied heavily on the loan facility to fund the budget. As of 2023, the facility had surged over 2,900 percent over the past seven years, reaching an unprecedented N23.7 trillion. This sharp rise, which breached legal limits, fuelled inflationary pressures and exacerbated Nigeria's debt burden. Earlier in the year, the Governor of the CBN, Yemi Cardoso, announced that the bank would cease issuing Ways and Means advances to the federal government until outstanding loans were repaid. Mr Cardoso highlighted this as one of the critical measures the bank has adopted to address the country's current economic challenges. In July, the Debt Management Office (DMO) said Nigeria's total public debt stock hit N121.67 trillion (91.46 billion dollars) in March 2023. The DMO said that the securitisation of N4.90 trillion as part of the securitisation of the N7.3 trillion Ways and Means Advances approved by the National Assembly was also partly responsible for the N24.33 trillion increase in the debt stock. In September, the CBN said it will continue to maintain the constitutional limit on Ways and Means Advances to the federal government, capping the advances at 5 per cent of the previous year's actual revenue collection. This limit is part of the CBN's monetary, credit, foreign trade, and exchange policy guidelines for the fiscal years 2024-2025. In line with the Treasury Single Account (TSA) framework, the new guidelines also stipulate that the calculation of these advances will now take into account the sub-accounts of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), which are linked to the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF). This means that the federal government's consolidated cash position will be more accurately reflected, providing a clearer picture of available resources and enhancing transparency in public financial management. Forex backlog controversies In November 2023, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), criticised Nigeria and other African countries for not allowing international airlines to repatriate their profits.

The group said trapped funds in African countries is currently estimated at $1.68 billion, noting that the challenge is impeding the growth and development of air transportation on the continent. As of August 2022, reports indicated that foreign airlines' funds trapped in Nigeria stood at $793 million amidst lingering forex scarcity. Of this figure, $300 million is said to be legacy debt, which the CBN has taken, but yet to be remitted to IATA on behalf of the airlines. This prompted some major airlines, particularly Emirates Airline, to suspend flights operations in the country. Last June, IATA, a top global trade association of airlines, said that 98 per cent of airlines' trapped funds in Nigeria have been cleared. In March, the CBN also announced that the government had cleared all 'valid' foreign exchange backlogs. The move prompted Emirates airlines to announce that it will resume flight services to Nigeria from 1 October.

seunmsg:It's encouraging to see your strong support for Tinubu's policies and the positive changes happening in Nigeria. Many people may overlook these achievements due to political biases, which can cloud their understanding of the economic realities. The reduction in national debt in dollar terms and the shift to a market-driven exchange rate are significant steps toward stability and growth. The increase in net reserves from $3.9 billion to $23 billion is a remarkable effect of good governance. We all need to set aside political differences and focus on the progress being made. |

Zerobrain 😆 🤣 😂 Did you read part of the report that that stated that thr component of the debts belonging to the states reduced by 32% in the same period while that of FG grew by a huge percentage? Meaning while the states became more prudent, your stupid and daft FG(which you represent) was responsible for the entire increase. Now, who is the illiterate here? 😆 🤣 😂 😹 zero8zero: |

Brendaniel:A Yoruba man, OBJ, cleared Nigeria's debt in 2005. Buhari increased the external debt from $10 billion to $47 billion. Tinubu may fail, but he has only added $6 billion to Nigeria's debt profile. You can play the ethnic and tribal card all you like but I bet Yoruba people will prefer to be out of the shithole country. You can keep your Tinubu and Nigeria. |

seunmsg:Go back and read the Op and stop disgracing yourself It's 1500 realistic now? I thought agbado economics said the realistic rate should be 700-800 should be the real value Who brought the net reserve to $3.9bn? If not that you APC dummies are utterly shameless, when Buhari was presiding over the decimation of the National economy, were you not among the hurrah boys? Today you're here to tell us how net reserves have risen in the last 3 years. Shameless lots |

Omofaye99:Baloney!! Fx backlog has nothing to do with national debt. National debt is managed by the DMO not CBN? Where are you guys popping out of with this rubbish?. Fx backlog simply means CBN refused to honour demands for fx. It is not debt in any conceivable form except for clowns who are shopping for flowers where there's none. Fx backlog will hinder Nigeria's financial stability? What clownery |

LegendHero:Is it 7bn or 8bn now? So why didn't Buhari borrow to clear the backlog? If every borrowing is part of national debt why is the $3.3bn NNPCL loan not being counted as part of national debt? And stop fooling yourself. Your picture is 2022. Was Tinubu president then? Eximbank is China not Afreximbank Stop disgracing yourself abeg |
| Re: Nigeria’s Total Public Debt Hits ₦144.67 Trillion In December 2024 by Omofaye99: 11:11pm On Apr 05, 2025 |
Agbegbaorogboye:I respectfully disagree with your assessment. The FX backlog and national debt are indeed interconnected. While the Debt Management Office (DMO) manages the national debt, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) plays a crucial role in currency stability and foreign exchange supply. The FX backlog reflects unmet demands, which can lead to a ripple effect on the economy, impacting trade and investment. Ignoring this relationship oversimplifies a complex issue. Addressing the FX backlog is essential for Nigeria's economic health and future growth. Unless you have no idea of what you trying to dispute. |
