style=\"font-size: 16px\">Some stakeholders in the country\u2019s economic sector have advised the Federal Government to take steps to halt the rising national debt stock as it is fast becoming unsustainable.<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n<p>The stakeholders spoke in separate interviews with our correspondent in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/broadnews\/2022\/04\/15\/abuja-hotelier-urges-youths-to-shun-yahoo-ritual-money\/\">Abuja<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>They advised the Federal Government to look inwards and device creative means of generating revenue rather depending on borrowings.<\/p>\n<p>Reports have it that the Debt Management Office (DMO) recently announced that the country\u2019s total debt stock as at December 2021 was N39.55 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>The DMO had also said that the debt stock was likely to hit N45 trillion in 2022, as the government planned to borrow additional N6.30 trillion to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/broadnews\/2022\/02\/01\/cg-customs-raises-alarm-over-finance-act-insist-it-negates-its-mandate-to-generate-revenue\/\">finance<\/a> the 2022 budget deficit.<\/p>\n<p>Patience Oniha, the Director-General of the DMO,\u00a0had explained that the overall deficit in the 2022 budget was N6.30 trillion, representing 3.46 per cent of the country\u2019s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).<\/p>\n<p>Oniha explained that the debt stock was made up of the domestic and external debt stocks of the Federal Government, the 36 state governments and the Federal Capital Territory.<\/p>\n<p>She said that the country did not really have a debt problem, but a revenue problem,\u00a0adding that the government was already taking practical steps to improve revenue and reduce borrowings.<\/p>\n<p>A breakdown of Nigeria\u2019s public debt stock shows that 37.82 per cent is external, while the balance of 62.18 per cent is domestic.<\/p>\n<p>However, with the country\u2019s national debt in relation to Gross <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/broadnews\/2022\/04\/20\/domestic-violence-entertainers-others-advocate-change-in-culture-and-tradition\/\">Domestic<\/a> Product (GDP) at 35.51 per cent, some analysts suggested that the debt situation was still within reasonable limits.<\/p>\n<p>According a study conducted by the World Bank, a Debt-to-GDP ratio that exceeds 77 per cent for an extended period of time may result in an adverse impact on economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>Recently,\u00a0 Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, raised concern about the country\u2019s rising debt profile.<\/p>\n<p>In one of his sermons, Adeboye complained that more than 90 per cent of Nigeria\u2019s revenue from crude oil sales was used to pay interest accruing on debt.<\/p>\n<p>He warned that the country\u2019s debt service-to-revenue ratio might pose danger for decades.<\/p>\n<p>A financial expert, Mr Ibrahim Aliu,\u00a0advised the Federal Government to device creative means of generating revenue and move the country\u2019s economy away from perpetual dependence on debt.<\/p>\n<p>Aliu advised that any further borrowings by the country should be strictly expended on productive ventures that could grow the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/broadnews\/2022\/03\/16\/un-says-west-africa-food-economy-to-reach-480-bn-by-2030\/\">economy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Federal Government should ensure that borrowings are minimal and that future borrowings are effectively expended for real economic growth,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sule Adebayo,\u00a0 a Chartered, Accountant,\u00a0 said that in spite of the low Debt-to-GDP ratio, the revenue that went into debt servicing was still on the high side.<\/p>\n<p>He urged the Federal Government to take necessary steps to improve on its revenue and reduce its dependence on loans.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr Tope Fasua, an economist,\u00a0 the government will need to optimise revenue generation to cut down on borrowings.<\/p>\n<p>Fasua urged the private sector to always cooperate with the government in its revenue drive rather that antagonising such initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe private sector kicks anytime government proposes a tax increase,\u00a0no matter how insignificant.\u00a0 It has turned itself into an enemy of government, \u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He, however,\u00a0disagreed with the DMO that Nigeria had a \u201crevenue problem\u201d and not a debt problem, while urging government to get its expenditure priorities right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a debt problem,\u00a0 we have a revenue problem and we have an expenditure problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now we are just borrowing one way. We even borrow to service previous\u00a0 borrowings, \u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some stakeholders in the country\u2019s economic sector have advised the Federal Government to take steps to halt the rising national debt stock as it is fast becoming unsustainable.
