Director General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, has said that high debt levels lead to high debt services and affect investment in infrastructure.
It was entitled, ‘Why Debt Sustainability Is Important at the Subnational Level in Nigeria: Challenges and Prospects’ and a copy of it was obtained by our correspondent. In the document, she stressed the need for debt sustainability, which she defined as the ability to service all current and future obligations, while maintaining capacity to finance policy objectives without resort to unduly large adjustments or exceptional financing such as arrears accumulation, debt restructuring, which could otherwise compromise its stability.
However, despite the high debt service, the DMO has constantly insisted on the sustainability of Nigeria’s rising debt, using the debt to Gross Domestic Product ratio as justification.
True but this was how the western nation planned the economy to make us debtors
Buhari is not a human being,he thinks Niger Republic is Nigeria thats why he donate N1.4billion to tackle insecurity in there. We all supporting Peter Obi to fix Nigeria so Buhari&Tinubu won't be going to London for medical treatment&Atiku won't live in Dubai. Vote for Peter Obi
The strong justification frequently advanced for Nigeria's mounting debts, is that the debts are necessary under prevailing circumstances, to invest in infrastructural development. This is here being contradicted. So, where are the heavily borrowed money going to?
What was the debt used for amidst our oil production? Nigeria and her people dey ment!
Were the debts not incurred on projects that will generate the funds for repayment? Why should it be a burden now.
