Zainab Ahmed, the Nigerian Minister of Finance has stated that the borrowing level of funds from other countries is not unreasonable, it is for a worthy cause.

Ahmed at a media briefing at the statehouse Abuja on Thursday February 25, said this while reacting to criticism regarding high levels of borrowing by this administration.

In her words;

'The level of borrowing is not unreasonable. It is not high. If we say we will not borrow and therefore we will not build rails and major infrastructure until our revenue rises enough, we will regress as a country. We will be left behind. We wouldn't be able to improve our business environment and our economy will not grow.

We just need to make sure that when we borrow, we apply the borrowing to specific major infrastructure that would enhance the business environment in this country''

The total borrowing of Nigeria as of December 31, 2020 is nearly 25% of the GDP.
