President Muhammadu Buhari has
written to the National Assembly seeking approval for a loan request of $6.5
billion.
Buhari’s appeal was contained in
a letter read on the floor of Upper Legistive Chamber by the President of the
Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki, on Tuesday.
According to the letter, the
President said the loans will be sourced through issuance of Euro and Diaspora
bonds and the borrowing will be used to fund capital projects.
Projects listed by Buhari in the
letter include the construction of Mabila power project in Taraba State,
construction of second runway of Abuja Airport and other major projects across
the country.
The President also said part of
foreign loans will be used to refinance local debts.
