President Bola Tinubu has written to the Senate seeking approval for a fresh ₦1.15 trillion borrowing from the domestic debt market to finance the deficit in the 2025 budget.
The request was contained in a letter read on Tuesday by
Senate President Godswill Akpabio during plenary.
According to the President, the proposed borrowing is aimed
at bridging the funding gap and ensuring full implementation of government
programmes and projects outlined in the 2025 fiscal plan.
Following the announcement, Akpabio referred the request to
the Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debt, chaired by Senator Aliyu
Wammako (APC, Sokoto North), with a directive to report back within one week
for further legislative action.
