Debt Servicing, Borrowing, and Nigeria’s Fiscal Priorities During his recent foreign tour, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stated that Nigeria will spend about $11.6 billion on debt servicing, a figure that should concern anyone interested in the country’s economic future and long-term development. There is nothing inherently wrong with borrowing when it is guided by prudence and directed toward productive investment. Countries such as Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, and Indonesia are all heavily indebted, yet their borrowings are largely channelled into education, healthcare, infrastructure, and innovation - sectors that generate long-term economic returns and sustain repayment capacity. As a result, despite high debt levels, their obligations remain more manageable because they are tied to measurable productivity. Nigeria’s situation, however, is markedly different. A huge proportion of past borrowing has been directed toward consumption, with limited visible or sustainable developmental outcomes to justify the scale of indebtedness. It is also important to note that a huge portion of the debt currently being serviced was accumulated under the Tinubu administration itself, while borrowing has continued at a significant pace. The administration’s recent external borrowing alone includes about $6 billion (from First Abu Dhabi Bank in the UAE—$5 billion, and UK Export Finance via Citibank London—$1 billion), a further $1.25 billion under consideration from the World Bank, and an additional $516 million arranged through Deutsche Bank, bringing the latest known external loan commitments to roughly $7.8 billion. In addition, domestic borrowing through monthly bond issuances continues to add to the overall debt stock. Against this backdrop, Nigeria’s 2026 budget shows that health is ₦2.46 trillion, education is ₦2.56 trillion, and poverty alleviation is ₦865 billion, giving a combined total of about ₦5.885 trillion for these three critical sectors. By comparison, debt servicing at about $11.6 billion (approximately ₦17–₦18 trillion, depending on exchange rate assumptions) is almost three times higher than the total allocation to health, education, and social protection combined. This imbalance highlights a troubling fiscal reality in which debt obligations increasingly crowd out investment in human capital and poverty reduction. Moreover, even within the limited allocations to these sectors, funds may not be fully released, and a significant portion of what is eventually released could be misappropriated. Ultimately, the central issue is not borrowing itself, but whether borrowed funds are being converted into measurable productivity, inclusive growth, and improved living standards. Without this, debt servicing shifts from being a temporary fiscal obligation to a long-term structural burden that constrains development and deepens economic vulnerability. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@Elkrosmediahub She no go fit use toilet for 3 weeks. He best food will be like sawdust in her hand. She go sell her phone. She go write 16 suicide notes. She'll eat for the first time after 1 month of the break up

Lmao! Someone in the comment section said her healing after breakfast will be a documentary on Netflix🤣🤣

@Harri_obi @dondekojo Even in the dictionary it still doesn't mean a very good way of making ones case

Agbaya, words have something called connotative meaning. In popular usage 'gimmick' is overwhelmingly used pejoratively to imply something is manipulative or lacking substance. Coming here to pretend that people misunderstood you because of 'English' is disingenuous. You knew exactly how the word would be interpreted in that context. But no one is surprised. Is it not you again?

That Pastor has finally gotten Trump’s attention with his gimmick.

4) On nuisance, I think it's the person who leaves the candidate that fronted a Muslim/Muslim ticket to accuse another candidate of weaponising religion who is the nuisance. Nonsense.

@theairbuser @d_Advocate1 That's actually the worst he can do. Lol

@d_Advocate1 Person wey you suppose don block.

Izu or whatever name your parents gave you at birth, this should be the last time you will quote my tweet with insult. I am not your mate both in this profession and whatever other metric you want to use. If you cannot engage my post with courtesy then look away. The last thing I expect is a colleague constituting nuisance on my page. For laymen, I won't bother much. I'm not sure there is anything on my page that remotely suggests I have any affiliation with APC or any other Political Party. Again, don't ever quote my tweet with any such partisan insinuation again. I try my best to engage colleagues (junior and senior) here with with it utmost respect and I expect it to be reciprocated. Again, kindly desist from engaging my posts directly if you cannot do so with civility. I rest. @akinthelaw I'm guessing you are familiar with him. Perhaps you can help drive home the point.

I don't know the name your parents gave you so let's leave that aside. 2) I frankly don't care who you think your mate is in whatever metric. 3) Take this silly finicky attitude off the road.

@VektorLines Wetin James do beginning of this season even for CWC

You can't bring another current premier league midfielder pulling this off

@mukhtar_usman @aliyu_quadri I can buy 22k akara like mad Noor. As long as it's very sweet and Na half bag of beans worth of akara, then wamless

There is something called bad financial decisions and buying akara for 22k is one of them. What is so special about akara that’ll make me want to buy it for 22k? You people should please.

Few days after Seyi announced he will via for the seat of power at the federal level. Omo the dots are too glaring not to connect

@Gilomon01 @areosodiq @callmephlames @ArewaAdebukolaa Well, I guess she meant that the "ward" party members who are obviously locals will vote for him. I stand to be corrected though

@areosodiq @callmephlames @ArewaAdebukolaa They don't even understand politics

Igbo people? You just have to love them 😂 This fool would’ve won the party ticket if it happened in Yoruba land.😂😂😂

I extend my sincerest condolences to the High Command and Leadership of the Nigerian Military and the Police over the tragic loss of our courageous officers. It is with deep sadness that I acknowledge the heartbreaking death of 17 brave police officers, alongside an unspecified number of soldiers, who made the ultimate sacrifice during the recent terrorist attack on a military school in Yobe State. At this moment of profound sorrow, the entire nation stands in solidarity with the leadership of the Armed Forces, the Police, the affected commands, and the wider security community. Every security personnel killed is a tragedy to our nation. Every fallen officer represents a family thrown into grief, children left without parents, and communities robbed of those sworn to protect them. The Federal Government must ensure adequate compensation, support, and long-term welfare for the families of all those who paid the supreme price in service to our nation. A nation cannot continue to normalise the killing of its security personnel and innocent citizens without urgent, decisive, and strategic action. We must confront insecurity with sincerity, professionalism, and the political will necessary to protect lives and restore public confidence. To the families of the fallen heroes, I offer my deepest and most heartfelt sympathies. We mourn with you, and we honour the courage and sacrifice of your loved ones. May their souls rest in eternal peace. -PO

@tobechiohaeri @thecableng @AirtelNigeria You don't want me to show you the kind of network @AirtelNigeria supplies me for 30k a month. If I had other cheaper options in my area God knows I'll keep this router on the express road tomorrow morning

@thecableng Another twist to this, @AirtelNigeria has continued to sell defective services to Nigerians and have persistently failed to resolve customer complaints. We should be in court to demand the FCCPC also close the Telco 😊. Imagine Airtel 5G speed I get?

Court orders FCCPC to close Coscharis Motors over defective Range Rover sold to customer A federal high court in Abuja has ordered the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) to close Coscharis Motors over a dispute involving a “defective” Range Rover Sport sold to a customer, Florence Ozor. Emeka Nwite, the presiding judge, gave the order on Wednesday while ruling on a motion for judicial review filed by Ozor. thecable.ng/court-orders-f…

“There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.” — Nelson Mandela Yesterday, the global community marked the International Day of the Boy Child. For me, it was a day of sober reflection on the future of the boy child in a nation like ours, where the horrible spate of insecurity, mass abductions, hunger, and inadequate investment in health and education constantly jeopardise the lives and futures of our children. It is generally believed that our children are the leaders of tomorrow, and rightly so. However, one wonders how our children will lead society tomorrow if we fail to secure their lives and future today. From severe hunger and malnutrition to a lack of basic education and primary healthcare; from worsening levels of insecurity and mass abductions to alarming rates of moral decadence in society—the boy child faces numerous existential challenges from birth. For him to become a responsible and productive member of society, the boy child must be given a sound basic education, empowered with productive skills, and mentored with the right progressive values that help build a better society. In the words of Frederick Douglass: “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” We must stop the neglect and abuse we unleash on our boy children and begin to secure their lives and invest in their future for the sake of our collective future as a nation. As I have always maintained, the society we abuse today will take its revenge on us tomorrow. And to every boy child out there: do not give up on your dreams. We are on a journey toward building a nation that not only secures your life and invests in your future, but also helps you grow and fuels your dreams so that you can embrace global opportunities that match your talents and aspirations. Happy International Day of the Boy Child. A New Nigeria is POssible! -PO

'I’d rather count the grains in a bag of rice.' Of course na, that's typical of you, leaving substance to pursue shadows😆😆😆😆😆 Isn't that what you have been doing for the past few days?😆😆😆😆😆

Quickly to those saying, 'Why are you bringing her religion?' Before Blessing became an indirect BAT supporter and pivoted to politics, she was in Christian Twitter. I am speaking to her as a Christian. I don't really care about your guys' politics. I don't. But I am a fact-driven interlocutor. If she says BAT is more intelligent than Peter Obi, then we should see the pragmatic outcome on the nation. I brought up the belt of truth, a concept that's likely to be strange in politics, because the result of the mental capacity is a currently lived experience. So, to say BAT is more intelligent is to literally deny the reality of his leadership, which is an actual hell for most Nigerians right now. Politics should be based on truth for a Christian. I wanted Blessing to show how an intelligent leader has orchestrated the most hellish conditions for Nigerians at the moment.

@winexviv @TechMan__ Government policies corrects all of this sir

There’s a silent disaster happening in Nigeria that nobody wants to confront honestly. We keep shouting about unemployment, bad leadership, low productivity, corruption, poor healthcare, failed institutions and why our country is not working. But many people are avoiding the root cause. Our education system has been deeply compromised. A student enters secondary school or university full of dreams, intelligence and potential. Then the system teaches them something dangerous: “You do not need competence to succeed.” WAEC malpractice. NECO malpractice. GCE runs. Sorting. Sex for grades. Extortion. Intimidation. Victimization. Handout rackets. “See me after class.” “Talk to your lecturer.” “Settle this course.” And after 4 or 5 years of surviving that environment, we expect excellence to magically appear. It won’t. A country cannot repeatedly reward dishonesty in classrooms and expect integrity in government offices, hospitals, engineering sites, courtrooms and businesses. This is where many of our unemployable graduates are coming from. Not because Nigerians are not intelligent. Not because our youths are lazy. But because too many people were trained inside a system where merit was murdered. The painful part is this: UNN, UNILAG, FUTO, ABU, UI, IMSU, ABSU and many others are using largely the same NUC-regulated curriculum. The difference is standards. The universities that still command respect are usually the ones with stronger resistance against sorting, extortion and academic fraud. The ones collapsing in reputation are often the ones where corruption became normalized. Once a student realizes they can buy an “A” with ₦20,000, or sleep their way through a course, or manipulate results through connections, the motivation to truly learn starts dying slowly. And when millions of such graduates enter the labor market, the entire country pays the price. That weak engineer may eventually supervise a bridge. That poorly trained nurse may handle a patient. That compromised accountant may manage public funds. That fake first-class graduate may become a lecturer and reproduce the same cycle again. This is no longer just an education problem. It is a national security problem. Countries become great because they protect competence fiercely. Singapore did it. China did it. Germany did it. South Korea did it. You cannot build a first-world country with a third-world attitude towards education integrity. Nigeria does not have a shortage of talent. Nigeria has a shortage of systems that protect excellence. And until we become ruthless about fighting academic corruption, exam malpractice, sorting, sex-for-grades and institutional intimidation, we will continue producing certificates instead of competence. This fight is bigger than schools. It is about the future survival of Nigeria itself.

Is it right for a govt to implement austerity measures for citizens only whilst the govt continues with flamboyant spending? I am really curious to hear your answer (because this is exactly what Tinubu's govt is doing).
