OIL AND GAS
Tam David-West once said that PMB had one of the most-resourced oil and gas libraries he’s ever seen. It’s easy to describe that sector as one of his primary passions.

When you look at his 2015-23 legacies in that area it becomes clear, he:
—Kickstarted the $10b NLNG Train 7
—Began construction of more than $2b AKK Gas Pipeline
—Broke jink of PIA; assented to DoA
—Broke Jinx of Refinery Revamp (PH first phase)
—Started Nigeria’s Modular Refinery Revolution
—The Partnership with Morocco, to kickstart the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline, and a $1.4b multipurpose industrial platform in Akwa Ibom)
--$700m Obiafu/Obrikom/Oben (OB3) 127km gas pipeline,the OB3 is a vital piece of gas pipeline infrastructure for the supply of 2BCF (two billion standard cubic feet) per day feedstock to the AKK pipeline. This pipeline is among the biggest gas transmission systems in Nigeria which is completed March, 2024.

REFINERIES:
We rolled out our administration’s Refinery Roadmap in 2018, with the ultimate goal of making Nigeria a net exporter of petroleum products. The Roadmap has four key elements, namely, Rehabiliation of existing refineries, Greenfield Refineries, Co-location & Modular Refining.

https://twitter.com/MBuhari/status/1331234260162932737?s=1

Between 2015-2023 Modular Refining Development program of Buhari lead to the emergence of 4 modular refineries built in Nigeria:
👉Niger Delta Petroleum Resources modular refinery, Rivers state
👉OPAC modular Refinery, Delta state
👉WalterSmith Refinery Limited, Imo state
👉Edo Refinery and Petrochemical Ltd.
Dangote Refinery & BUA refineries in Akwa Ibom are born out of his administration's commitment to local content. This is coming when PHC & Warri refineries are being rehabilitated & Kaduna refinery was followed later.

CBN WAYS AND MEANS AND OTHER BORROWINGS UNDER BUHARI
"Ways and Means loan that FG borrowed from CBN under last administration".
Ways & Means is a CBN short term loan to FG to meet obligations during revenue shortfalls! COVID-19 pandemic, low oil prices and dip in oil production to as low as around 900k barrel per day out of the 2m barrel per day as per OPEC quota to Nigeria and Russia-Ukraine war which led to lockdown of businesses across the world and forced many businesses at standstill as black sea is the major route of world water navigation between continents which forced FG to rely heavily on the "Ways and Means loans from CBN" to finance its budget deficits to keep the country working for the people.

There are some allegations of misconduct by CBN while giving the loans to FG.

FG had to borrow from CBN to sustain economic activities and the monies received by the FG were actually used for funding of critical projects across the country, some parts of the money was given as loans or grant to states, companies and individuals.

Due to the serious shortfall in Government Revenue, the FG in order for the economy not to collapse, was compelled to borrow repeatedly from the CBN, exceeding the 5% threshold of the prior year’s revenue as stipulated by the CBN Act, 2007.”
Ways and Means balance was initially ₦19,326,745,239,660.20 as of 30th June, 2022 but later grew to ₦22,719,704,774,306.90 as of 19th December 2022 as a result of financial obligations to ongoing capital projects and additional expenditures which includes domestic debt service gaps and interest rate.

Buhari got Senate’s nod before restructuring ₦22.7trn CBN loans. See the link:
https://businessday.ng/news/article/buhari-gets-senates-nod-to-restructure-n22-7trn-cbn-loans/

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc globally, central banks have opted to print money to finance government spendings — in a policy known as “helicopter money".

On March 17, 2020, the Nigerian Government inaugurated the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 to coordinate the country's multisectoral intergovernmental response. The PTF developed the National COVID-19 Multisectoral Pandemic Response Plan as the blueprint for implementing the response plans.
Some of the beneficiaries of the money printing and other borrowings from CBN to save the economy under the last administration include:
1. Commerical Banks
2. Farmers through NIRSAL Anchor borrowers program
3. Youth Empowerment Fund, YEF
4. Manufacturing sector through BOI
5. Suspension of electricity bill to some extent which affected DisCos and Gencos and Govt had to support NESI to continue operation during the period of the pandemic
6. State Govts got trillions of Naira grant support and loans
Not less than 31 state governments in Nigeria borrowed ₦457.17 billion to pay salaries to their respective civil servants. This borrowing was facilitated through the Salary Bailout Facility (SBF), an intervention by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

7. Critical infrastructure projects with huge deficits where financed by the same ways and means and other borrowings
8. COVID-19 Stimulus program in which all registered private schools, companies among others sent the names and information of their staffs where they were paid N30k for 3 consecutive months to cushion the effects of their companies inability to pay their salaries due to the effects of COVID-19 lockdown
9. FG spent billions of Naira building thousands of COVID-19 emergency centres across the 36 states
10. FG spent billions of Naira building advanced health facilities across 6 geopolitical zones.
11. FG gave palliatives worth billions to cushion the lockdown effects.
12. FG fly back thousands of Nigerians from other places in the events of the pandemic.
13. COVID-19 Rapid Response Facility (CRF); Federal Republic of Nigeria set aside in the amount of USD $288.5m (more than ₦400b) resources under the COVID-19 Rapid Response Facility (CRF) to finance the COVID-19 Response Support Program (C19 RSP), designed as a Crisis Response Budget Support (CRBS) Operation. The program results from a request of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
14. The COVID-19 health response teams, committees set up across the Nation, feeding of patients among many other cost billions of Naira among many programs all in an effort not to allow the economy to collapse.
15. The Central Bank of Nigeria has set out a number of measures to tackle the impact of the coronavirus, including establishing a fund to support the country's economy (of 50 billion naira; i.e. EUR 121 million), targeted at households and micro and small enterprises. The interest rate has also been cut, a moratorium has been announced on principal repayments for CBN intervention facilities and tax measures are being taken.

Improving FX supply to the CBN by directing oil companies and oil servicing companies to sell FX to the CBN rather than the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
Additional NGN100 billion intervention fund in healthcare loans to pharmaceutical companies and healthcare practitioners intending to expand/build capacity
Identification of few key local pharmaceutical companies that will be granted funding facilities to support the procurement of raw materials and equipment required to boost local drug production.
N1trillion in loans to boost local manufacturing and production across critical sectors.
The CBN has adopted a unified exchange rate system for Inter-Bank and parallel market rates to ease pressure on FOREX earnings as oil prices continues to plummet- Naira support subsidy.

NOTE: While FG was spending these monies running in trillions we basically had very low income due to travel bans, many all taxes by FIRS were suspended as a result of the pandemic, oil sells stalled to some extent and Govts across the globe were forced to print monies to survive and this is part of the money in discussion.

The investigation into how the "ways and means" was spent is a welcome development and will ascertain if there are fraud somewhere.

One of the challenges which prompted the investigation is lack of transparency in the side if CBN and how Govt spent the money. For instance, NIRSAL loans is declared unrecoverable and this is suspicious. CBN must come clean by giving the actual number of beneficiaries and the reason for defaulting the loans. So, such frauds have to be uncovered!

If you could remember, Nigeria became a subject of discussion in the world on how we were able to survive COVID-19's economic and health effect. Nigeria survived the pandemic through huge loans from CBN'S ways and means, IMF credit support, Africa Development Bank and World Bank. It was never easy, the hit was huge in all countries across the globe and many are still struggling to recover from the economic hit.


Buhari government has done a tremendous job in keeping this country afloat because before the pandemic our borrowing wasn't close to this bad and remember we entered 2 recessions which were eminent as former Jonathan's finance minister, Ngozi was quoted to have said Nigeria was in the verge of entering recession in 2014.

In 2012, former CBN Governor, Sunusi Lamido was quoted saying whoever inherit the liability of Jonathan's govt can't do anything in a panel theme *"removal of fuel subsidy on whose interest"?

Printing money is valid response to coronavirus crisis
In times of emergency, particularly war, central banks have often handed freshly printed banknotes to governments. The fight against resultant inflation was postponed until after any crisis.

Remember, Buhari inherited $28b foreign reserve snd handedover $34b in our reserve
He inherited very low oil production as a result of the activities of Niger-Delta avengers unleashed to his administration immediately after swearing in which brought serious sabotage to the economy through huge oil theft and pipeline vandalism.

He inherited, 22 states who were unable to pay salaries or pay contractors and bailed them out.

He inherited weak defense that was frequently threatened by BH but ended up asking for dialogue.

The only debt that is bad is the loan borrowed for consumption but one can criticise Buhari as much as he likes but Buhari is unmatched when it comes to infrastructure and reinforcing of troops with encouraging armoury.

President Buhari did so well. The best president so far, infrastructure wise. All the projects Wike is boasting about in fct were started by PMBs minister and were almost completed before buharis tenure ended. No part of this country without a buhari legacy project.

Buhari accomplished most of what you wrote but always remember he left Nigeria economy worse than he met it. That will be the albatross of his administration till eternity. Bola Tinubu is already threading same path.

Apprehension as FG borrows N20.1trn under Tinubu
The Federal Government borrows from the domestic investors through issuance of FGN Bonds, FGN Savings Bonds, and Sukuk Bonds by the Debt Management Office, DMO. In addition to these are the Nigeria Treasury Bills, NTBs, issued by the CBN on behalf of the FG.
Financial Vanguard analysis of data from the DMO and CBN showed that in the 12 months ending May 31st (June 2023 to May 2024), also the first year of President Bola Tinubu, the FG borrowed N20.09 trillion through these instruments, representing YoY increase of 117 per cent from the N9.275 trillion borrowed in the previous 12 months, namely June 2022 to May 2023.

EXCLUSIVE: Okonjo-Iweala opens up, says Nigeria economy in danger
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/138723-exclusive-okonjo-iweala-opens-up-says-nigeria-economy-in-danger.html?tztc=1


From the above references it can be seen that just like Tinubu Buhari equally inherited economic challenges.
In my main thread I mentioned that Buhari was Challenged for borrowings but remember he borrowed most of our debt because of COVID-19 pandemic which forced almost all economic activities to shutdown and FG had to resort to printing money through ways and means to pay salaries and kept the economy affloat and we were one of the countries to have survived the effect of the pandemic.
