People are just criticising for nothing. Almost interest free loan and money will be paid directly to contractors and consultants hinged on project milestones unlike the past where the loan will be given to the govt who then embezzle it and leave the project undone. That's why people criticize when govt wants to take loan.

The pro of this loan is that, the contractor will be in a hurry to complete the project so as to access their money

I wonder if this low interest loan facility was an option for Abia state because Nigeria is a member of the OIC?

Muslim Muslim ticket sweet o!

How and when will the State pay back the loan and what is the Islamic Banking demands?
30% of the indigenous Abians should convert to Islamic this Friday and another 20% before the final payment. AllahuAkbar

They charge administrative fees on money and also share in profits. It is more or less the same thing
I did thorough research about the loan, and it's clearly better than an interest-based loan. I won't let religion blind me to its benefits.

When completed, the project, according to the statement, would reduce travel time in Abia’s busiest urban corridors, create over 3,000 jobs for local residents, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve access to social services, and attract private sector investment.

Same Abia State whose indigenes worked against APC and derided APC as an Islamic party is now the first beneficiary of the Muslim-Muslim APC ticket Presidency and Islamic institution they derided. Smh.

This is a solid evidence that APC and the President don't discriminate against any Nigerian let alone discriminate along tribal or religious lines like APC opponents in Abia State do.

Let it be on record that Islamic Bank built Aba wink

Thank you President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Shettima.
"Let it be on record that Islamic Bank built Aba"... Funny 🤣 🤣

Governor Alex had already gone far in building Aba.

This don't even make sense. Does FG own the Islamic bank and what authority does Tinubu have to approve the bank's loans ?

No state can get a foreign loan without the federal government's approval.

Hypocrites will not call this one an attempt to Islamize Abia grin

huh
All foreign loans should stop.
It appears as if there are a few people in the federal and state governments, and the lending institution who get commissions from these loans.
When the federal and state governments take external loans, they indirectly take money from the general Nigerian population through naira devaluation, and excessive inflation.
