The Debt Management Office (DMO) has disclosed that no national asset was used as collateral for the solicitation of loans from China.<\/p>\n

This was disclosed by the director general of DMO, Patience Oniha during an interview with NAN on Saturday.<\/p>\n

In recent times, both social and mainstream media have been awash with news about some African countries, including Nigeria, facing the threat of losing critical national assets to the Asian country owing to high-level indebtedness.<\/p>\n

Media reports had also claimed that Uganda has \u201csurrendered\u201d its only international airport and other assets in the country to China<\/a> over an unpaid loan deal \u2014 a claim both both countries have denied.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the reports, Oniha said the loans from China to Nigeria were largely concessional, as no national asset was tagged as collateral.<\/p>\n

She also disclosed that Chinese loans which presently stood at $3.59 billion constitutes only 9.4 percent of the Nigeria\u2019s total foreign debt stock of $37.9 billion.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria\u2019s total debt stock as at Sept. 30 was 37.9 billion dollars, this figure comprised the external debt stock of the Federal Government, 36 state governments and the Federal Capital Territory,\u201d Oniha was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n

But total loans from China stands at 3.59 billion dollars, which is 9.47 per cent of the total external debt. The loans did not require any national asset as collateral; they were largely concessional.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oniha asked Nigerians to always endeavour to verify sensitive information from official sources before disseminating it.<\/p>\n

She said before foreign loans are procured, sensitive steps are taken by multiple institutions of government to ensure that they are beneficial to the nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore any foreign loan is contracted, including the issuance of Eurobond, they are approved by the Federal Executive Council and thereafter, the National Assembly,\u201d Oniha said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn important and extremely critical step is that the loan agreements are approved by the Federal Ministry of Justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn opinion is issued by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice before the agreements are signed.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral measures which operate seamlessly have been put in place to ensure that data on debt are available and that debt is serviced as at when due. Provisions are made explicitly for debt service in the annual budgets.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DMO chief said loan agreements provide a number of steps to take to resolve disputes when they arise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first action is that the parties should resolve it within themselves and if that fails, they go to arbitration,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn other words, a lender, in this case, China, would not just pounce on an asset at the first sign of a dispute, including defaults.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

She said the DMO maintain proper records of debts, provide projections for debt service and process the actual payments for debt service.<\/p>\n

Oniha said those functions are carried out in conjunction with the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
