Tinubu Seeks Senate Approval To Borrow $6 Billion by fergie001(mod): 2:42pm On Mar 31
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has formally written to the Senate seeking approval to borrow $6 billion in external loans to support key government projects and address budgetary needs.

The request, presented in a letter to Senate President Godswill Akpabio and read during plenary, outlines plans to secure funding for critical national development priorities.

Reports indicate that part of the proposed borrowing includes a $5 billion facility, alongside other funding arrangements aimed at boosting infrastructure and economic activities.

The move is expected to spark conversations around Nigeria’s rising debt profile, as lawmakers deliberate on the request in the coming days.

Re: Tinubu Seeks Senate Approval To Borrow $6 Billion by Fiscus105(m):
Yet these set of people(APC), since days of Buhari, saying Jonathan mismanaged economy.

Yet some educated youth still singing on your mandate.

Yet masses that suffering still arguing and fighting for Tinubu to continue.


Indeed, citizens deserve what they subjected them to.

If that initial statement of yours isn't petty politics, nothing else qualifies as petty politics.

Re: Tinubu Seeks Senate Approval To Borrow $6 Billion by nairalanda1(m):
Yep, as expected from the government and the party that promised diversification but did not deliver diversification.

Plus, for those asking for oil windfall, remember that 80% of our revenue comes from oil. Government revenue. Remember also tha toil prices until this last month have been low, and most of the windfall is going to pay the resulting debt.

SO, we got to face reality, fight corruption, actually fight it, tax more of the gdp and also...also, diversify the economy and make it an economy reliant on manufactured goods and services.

Obon oju nker apparently thinks that the above comment means I support APC

So I support a party that I just said failed to diversify the economy among other things and still hasnt fought corruption.

Okay.

This Govt should be kicked out come 2027. What nonsense is this? We are selling oil above $100 and you want to borrow again? This is a wicked move by the leaders of this country.
