The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a plan for the Nigerian government to borrow an additional $2.2 billion to finance key national projects.

During a recent meeting, the council authorized the borrowing, which is aimed at supporting critical infrastructure development and other essential government initiatives. The loan is expected to be sourced from international creditors and will be used for projects that include transportation, energy, and social services.

In justifying the decision, government officials emphasized the importance of the loans in driving the country’s development agenda, particularly in the face of ongoing economic challenges. They also assured that the funds would be managed efficiently to avoid any adverse impact on the country’s debt profile.

This move comes amid ongoing discussions about Nigeria’s growing debt levels and the need for careful fiscal management. However, the government maintains that borrowing is a necessary tool for financing its ambitious development plans.
