The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, who just read a request letter from the president, said Buhari was seeking Senate approval of the new external loan to finance the 2021 budget deficit.

 

The new borrowing will, no doubt, worsen Nigeria’s debt profile as it already stands at  N32.9trn, according to the Debt Management Office (DMO)./ SHARE THIS
