“We must understand that there is a very questionable trend of loan acquisition in the state which makes the debt profile of the state very close to unsustainability because these loans are not self-liquidating. Instead, the state pays hugely for interest on these loans.
“Do not forget that the state in 2019 which was an election year acquired loans to the tune of N48 billion and in 2020 acquired N7.8 billion. Now, in just half part of the year, N7 billion has been approved for acquisition. You can now predict the expected trend before the end of the fiscal year. We cannot continue with this trend of frivolous loan acquisitions.”
The group further expressed worry that all the loans are taken from commercial banks at non-concessional rates, a situation that would eventually translate to huge debt burden to successive administrations and generations. The group urged the state House of Assembly to redeem its image by reviewing its recent decision on loan approval.
