President Buhari seeks Senate approval to borrow N2.10 trillion

President Buhari has sent a letter to the senate asking for permission to borrow N2.10 trillion to finance the 2015 budget. In the letter which was read at the senate's plenary session today November 18th, the president stated that the N882 billion loan earlier proposed by the past government to finance the budget had to be raised to N2.10trillion due to the dwindling oil price and other economic realities. The source of the loan, according to the president, would be from both local and foreign.

It means there is nothing wrong with the GEJ govt. if PMB needs 1.3trn for just 43 days. I can feel the CHANGE.

While I can understand the level of poverty in this country is crazy, if this man is allowed to borrow this money to do N5,000 hand-out, we are going to be in deep shit in the future. Look at the mess of subsidy of fuel that was introduced in his time as minister of petroleum. Naija just pray that this is not allowed other wise your children's children will not be able to pay this money back oh or get out of the madness he is proposing.

Guy, this your economics get as it be o, the thing no make sense.

The dude is putting us in debt. Offering higher interest rates to make Nigerian debt more attractive. You know we've got to pay that debt back at sometime right... at those interest rates - no debt relief again my brother.

Besides, over 50% of Nigeria's budget goes to recurrent expenditure (Sanusi). So more than half is already set aside for 'Owambe' (sic) and Aristo.

As for the remaining, you know now... 5% here, 3% there adds up. Plus this new money will increase the money supply thus raising the price level by some.

My brother, I don tire, poor man like me no go see that money... Or those capital projects.

Juliet,

2015 budget was done based on crude oil price of $130 a barrel. Crude oil has been fluctuating around the $45 price for about a year now. Do the maths. Nigeria is really broke and we'll have to borrow again and again.

It's a pity that Buhari is unlucky again.

Goaldyn Boy said...

When Buhari was invited to a debate so that he will tell us how he intends to actualize his gargantuan campaign promises, he ran away! Now he is beginning to show us that he doesn't even have any roadmap or plan while he was shouting change! change! Mtcheeew! Please someone should wake me up when you start seeing any little change!!!

Idiots

Charles Ifeco:have read Rueben Abati's recent reaction? read it here said...

Our Dear Goodluck Jonathan, I write on behalf of
all Nigerians to tender an unreserved apology to
you for unknowingly voting you out of office as the
President of ‘once upon a time’ Giant of Africa,
Nigeria.
I know many will shy away from accepting this
fact, especially, those from the Agrived People
Caucus who are comonly known for boasting of
what they cannot or will never do.
Before your exit, we Nigerians used to buy fuel at
N87.00 per liter. Who knows, by now may be you
would have brought it down to N22.00 per liter.
Your Excellency Sir, believe me, we have all learnt
a lesson and we promise, never to repeat such
blunder.
It may interest you to know that we have finally
come to term that PMB’s primary ambition was to
be a Petroleum Minister but was tricked by the
known scammers to divert from his ambition to
Presidency for reasons not yet made public.
In view of this discovery, we are currently on a
round-table negotiation with PMB to accept your
unconditional return to Presidency and rather
concentrate on the Ministry of Petroleum which he
presently occupies till further notice.
Accept the assurance of the fact that once the ‘Old-
Soldier’ sign the MoU, we will communicate same
to you.
While re-emphazising our regret for your exit, we
are hopeful that you are currently on the drawing
board to re-strategize and do what you know how
to do best ahead.
Pls accept our sincere apology.

Sir I-man

Yours truly!

Less than 45 days and u need more than 2 trillion? Why not write your budget for 2016.it is not fair.

Why don't I see people like

Anonymous said...

It's very disheartening that none of you can figure out the fact that these are still the aftermath of GEJ's recklessness. You somehow think the fiscal problem disappeared when Jonathan left - either because you still haven't settled to the fact that your beloved Jonathan was a crook or you're pretending to not know how this works. It really doesn't matter at the end of the day. The mess has to be cleaned up regardless.

yes,,, he needs to borrow because the past administrators have left our treasuring account empty, so we need more money to finance the 2016 budget, even US government are owing trillions of dollars. @juzzayofficial
