The initiative, to be implemented by the Debt Management Office (DMO), stems from the 2023 Executive Order on Foreign Currency Denominated Financial Instruments (Local Issuance Programme).<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the president, proceeds from the bond would be channelled into key economic sectors, particularly infrastructure, employment generation, foreign exchange stability, and general economic growth.

President Tinubu described the loan as essential to Nigeria\u2019s economic recovery following the removal of fuel subsidies and the widening infrastructure gap. \u201cWith limited revenue and mounting demand for public services, responsible borrowing has become necessary to bridge the funding shortfall,\u201d he stated.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He assured lawmakers that the loan would finance strategic projects across the country, including railway development, healthcare infrastructure, poverty alleviation, youth empowerment, and food security initiatives in all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a separate letter, the president also sought legislative endorsement to issue \u20a6757.98 billion in bonds to clear accumulated pension arrears up to December 2023, in line with the provisions of the 2014 Pension Reform Act. Tinubu acknowledged that revenue shortfalls in previous years had made it difficult for the government to fulfill its pension commitments. He said addressing the backlog would ease the hardship of retirees, rebuild confidence in the pension system, and stimulate economic activity by injecting liquidity into the economy.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although the proposed bond would raise the national debt profile, the president argued that the long-term socioeconomic gains outweighed the fiscal costs.
