President Muhammadu Buhari is seeking approval from lawmakers in the senate for $5.5 billion to fund the budget deficit.

This is also following the announcement from the Debt Management Office of the country’s intention to to issue at least a $2.5 billion Eurobond this year coupled with an earlier announcement by the Minister for finance on plans to refinance $3 billion worth of treasury bills denominated in the local currency.

Should this be approved, the foreign debt profile of the country to which there is already a public outcry as to the rate of foreign loans the country will further pile up of which a chunk of the country’s budget is currently servicing.
