China Rejects FG $22bn Loan Request, Asks Nigeria to Pay Up Old Debt by nairalandankrah: 4:36am On Mar 30, 2023 |
The Rubber stamp Nigeria House of Representatives, on Tuesday, approved the request by the Federal Government to borrow a reduced amount of $973,474,971.38 from China Development Bank. This followed the decision by the China-Exim Bank to reject Nigeria’s initial $22,798,446,773 loan request earlier approved by the National Assembly. The Chairman of the House Committee on Rules and Business, Abubakar Fulata, moved a motion for the legislative chamber to amend its resolution granting approval for the failed loan deal. The motion was titled ‘Rescission of the 2016–2018 Federal Government External Borrowing (Rolling) Plan.’ Moving the motion, Fulata said, “The House notes that the 2016–2018 Federal Government External Borrowing (Rolling) Plan was approved by the Senate and the House of Representatives on March 5, 2020, and June 2, 2020, respectively. “The House recalls that the National Assembly approved the sum of $22,798,446,773 only under the 2016–2018 Medium Term External Borrowing (Rolling) plan. The House is aware of the communications from the Federal Ministry of Finance requesting approval of modifications to the financing proposal for the Nigerian Railway Modernisation Project (Kaduna–Kano segment) occasioned by the COVID–19 pandemic, whereof China Exim Bank withdrew its support to finance the project.” He added, “The House is also aware that to secure funds for the project, the contractor (CCECC Nigeria Limited), in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Transportation, engaged China Development Bank as the new financier in the sum of $973,474,971.38 only.” Fulata, therefore, prayed the House to “rescind its decision on the financier and harmonised terms and approve the change of financier from China Exim Bank to China Development Bank.” The lawmakers unanimously granted the prayer. https://punchng.com/fg-22bn-loan-request-rejected-by-chinese-bank-reps/

China and all creditor countries will start insisting that Nigeria first conduct a free, fair and credible elections before granting loans. Who in his right mind would loan money to a person of dubious character? In time, Nigerians will understand that not all countries leaders behave like Nigerian leaders. 2 Likes 1 Share |
