In addition, the low-interest rate reduces the interest cost to the government while the long tenor enables the repayment of the principal sum of the loans over many years. These two benefits, make the provisions for debt service in the annual budget lower than they would otherwise have been if the loans were on commercial terms,\u2019 a newly released world bank document said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The $3.121 billion loans, the document, explained, are project-tied loans. The projects, (eleven \u2013 11 in number as at March 31, 2020), include the Nigerian Railway Modernisation Project (Idu-Kaduna section), Abuja Light Rail Project, Nigerian Four Airport Terminals Expansion Project (Abuja, Kano, Lagos and Port Harcourt), Nigerian Railway Modernisation Project (Lagos-Ibadan section) and Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Abuja \u2013 Keffi- Makurdi Road Project.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The impact of these loans is not only evident but visible. For instance, the Idu \u2013 Kaduna Rail Line has become a major source of transportation between Abuja and Kaduna. Also, the new International Airport in Abuja has improved air transportation for the populace, while the Lagos \u2013 Ibadan Rail line when completed, will ease traffic on the busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The projects also have the added benefits of job creation, not only by themselves but through direct and indirect service providers, a number of which are Small and Medium Enterprises,\u2019 the document, further explained.<\/p>\n<p>Recall that recently, President Muhammadu Buhari wrote to the National Assembly, seeking approval to borrow the sum of $4,054,476,863 billion and \u20ac710 million, a move that generated uproar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Bank has disclosed that Nigeria has so far borrowed $3.121 billion (1,126.68 trillion at USD\/361) from China as at March 2020, an amount which represents\u00a0only 3.94 per cent of Nigeria\u2019s total public debt of $79.21 billion as of September 2021.
