Barely two months after The Senate approved $8.4bn and €490 as external borrowing plan for the federal government, President Muhammadu Buhari has again written to the National Assembly, seeking approval to borrow the sum of $4,054,476,863 and €710 million.
The request was made known in a letter read by Senate President Ahmad Lawan at plenary on Tuesday.
In the letter titled Addendum to Request For Senate’s Concurrent Approval of Multilateral Fund Projects Under the 2018-2021 Federal Government External Borrowing (Rolling) Plan, President Buhari explained that owing to “emerging needs”, there is a need to raise more funds for some “critical projects”.
