Must See: Clarifying Nigeria's debt position - Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (G7 or F9 Economies lol)

Click banner for more info

A statement from the Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

There has recently been a lot of misinformation and misconception in our public debate on debt. My goal in this article is to shed some light on the public debt, to clarify the real state of Nigeria’s debt position, and hopefully, provide a knowledge platform for constructive debate.

Let me say at the outset that no one in government is supportive of a Nigeria that returns to a high state of indebtedness. On a personal note, having gone through tremendous stress during the quest for Paris Club debt relief, I am committed to a Nigerian economy that is fiscally prudent, balances its books and remains at a low state of indebtedness.

To begin, Nigeria’s overall debt is comprised of external and domestic debts. The external debt is typically owed to foreign creditors such as multilateral agencies (for example, the Africa Development Bank, the World Bank, or the Islamic Development Bank), to bilateral sources (such as the China Exim Bank, the French Development Bank or the Japanese Aid Agency), or to private creditors such as investors in our Eurobonds.

The President of the Senate, David Mark, on Thursday said those beating the drums of war ahead of the 2015 elections, should realise that no nation survives two civil wars. Mark said this in Abuja while addressing his colleagues during a special plenary session to mark the end of the Second Legislative Session of the 7th Senate.

He said, “Those beating the drums of war should realise that no nation can survive two civil wars in one lifetime.

“These trends must stop, and we must all remember that the nation is greater than the sum total of its parts.”

Mark said this just as he lashed out at elected public officeholders whom he accused of abandoning governance in pursuit of their personal ambitions ahead of the elections.

According to him, the vaulting personal ambitions among politicians was over-heating the polity and distracting officeholders from the onerous task of governance.

Why we can’t enforce ban on naira spraying - CBN

Click banner for more info

The Central Bank of Nigeria on Wednesday said the law enforcement agencies should be held responsible for the ineffectiveness of the law banning spraying of currencies at social gatherings in the country. The CBN said because of the disinterest shown by the law enforcement agencies in apprehending those violating the law banning spraying of currencies, the perpetrators had persisted in the unlawful act. 

Deputy Governor in charge of Operations, CBN, Mr. Tunde Lemo, who said this in Abeokuta during a sensitisation workshop on the commencement of the cash-less policy in Ogun State, however, said it was not the duty of the apex bank to enforce the law. The Federal Government had, through a bill signed into law in 2007 by the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, criminalised all manners of abuse of the Naira. The law also prescribed six months imprisonment or N50,000 fine or both sanctions for offenders. Lemo, however, expressed regret that the law enforcement agencies had so far been unable to arrest or prosecute any violator for spraying money or abusing naira notes since the bill was signed into law about six years ago.
