The Federal Government says it has no intention to borrow from any local or foreign organisation with its removal of subsidy on petrol and exchange rate harmonisation.

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Chief Wale Edun, revealed this at the end of the inaugural Federal Executive Council meeting on Monday in Abuja.

He said that the benefit of the subsidy removal would be ploughed back into various sectors aimed at boosting government revenue and improving the business environment for local and foreign investment.

Edun said that with the increased revenue from subsidy removal, various palliatives have been made available to cushion its effect on a short, medium and long-term basis.

He reiterated the President Bola Tinubu-led administration’s desire to bring back the economy from the wood it has found itself over time.

"[b]President Bola Tinubu Is Not Borrowing $21 Billion

Dear Citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,

Please let us respond to facts, not fake news or innuendo. Download the Federal Government's Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and read it yourself.

President Bola Tinubu is not about to borrow $21 Billion. The MTEF contains the borrowing plan for both the Federal and State Governments for the next three years.

In other words, the $21 billion is what the Federal Government and the 36 states can borrow over the next three years. Not they will borrow. What they can borrow. They are not even likely to take those loans. It is just a framework for what is possible.

For example, while the MTEF provides for extensive borrowings in 2025, only $1.23 billion will be borrowed externally. And that $1.23 billion will be borrowed by both the Federal and state governments from all geopolitical zones.

The MTEF only shows possible borrowing that Nigeria is entitled to based on agreements with our external borrowing partners, which must be in line with both the Fiscal Responsibility Act 2007
and the Debt Management Office. (Establishment) Act 2003.

And the Borrowing Rolling Plan ties such possible borrowings by the Federal and State Governments to specific projects.

For actual borrowings, Nigerians should look at the budgets of both the Federal and State Governments.

Therefore, the sensational headlines proclaiming that President Tinubu is to borrow $21 billion are both fake and alarmist.

Again, I urge Nigerians to read the MTEF and the 2025 Appropriation Act.

President Bola Tinubu is a First-Class Cum Laude accountant adept at securing finances at the best rates from the most suitable lenders and for the right purposes.

Under such a skilled professional hand, Nigerians can expect their national debt to reduce, not increase.

Finally, Nigerians should note that many opposition media and influencers know that many of our people sadly do not read and are, therefore, susceptible to manipulation via misinformation and propaganda.

Thus, I urge the public to read as much as possible and verify from official sources before they make conclusions based on sensational headlines.

Tunibu insisted that subsidy must be gone for Nigeria to avoid going bankrupt. Now he is hell bent on bankrupting Nigeria with ton of debt. Hypocrisy of Tunibu is like no other.

You have eyes but can't read, have brain but can't comprehend. This is a borrowing plan for both federal and state governments in the MTEF for two years. Not all might be borrowed, it is just a framework. In recent development where states are borrowing less and repaying their debts, it is necessary to put a cap on the borrowing framework.
Una mind is only set to trigger negative alarms, misinterprete facts and spread falsehoods and that's what bitterness and election loss have done to you guys.
You guys are not the first people to lose an election in this country, those who lost in the past did not behave like that was the end of their lives.

The borrowing was to be expected, especially since the benchmark for the budget was an oil price of 75 dollars per barrel, menahwile oil has fallen to below 60 dollars per barrel this year, and may fall even further.

The only way to dig oneself out of a fiscal issue is raising revenue from taxes, but that is unpopular, even with agbadorians.

SO, loan taking

There is of course one good solution...manufactured goods and services.

Someone said, 'borrowing could be fruitful if tied to reforms, projects....',

Can you imagine this....in a country with more than a dozen pending cases of corruption each comfortably worth over thirty billion.

What do Nigerians expect to happen. Why do they think there is no money in the economy for this and that if not that all have been stolen or wasted.

If that individual was the creditor, will he lend to Nigeria plc.
