Less than a week after receiving a letter from President Muhammadu Buhari, the Senate on Tuesday approved the $5.513 billion loan request

, the Senate on Tuesday approved the $5.513 billion loan request of the president.

However, due to the sketchy details, the Senate withheld its approval until the lawmakers were better informed. “Such impact has affected the revenue generation plan of the government, leaving it with a larger deficit than envisaged,” he said. On his part, Tolu Odebiyi said the loans were needed because the budgetary implementation over time has been low.

The approved loans are now subject to the concurrence of the House of Representatives, which, on Tuesday, passed the $22.7 billion loan earlier approved by the Senate.

Senate fumes over high cost of oil production in NigeriaSenators on Monday kicked against the revelation by the management of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation ( NNPC), that the corporation makes a marginal $3 profit per barrel in oil production. They called on the federal government to get the nation's economy diversified as quickly as possible to avoid a total meltdown of the country. What difference does their fuming make? You are all Mad People. You draw raw oil from here, you give it out to outsiders, they refine it and get a whole lot of other products out of it. Then they sell back the carcass to you. Whereas, you can fix our refineries here and save both cost and production. bunchofhypocrites I don't even know the essence of having two chamber in Nigeria. The house of rep should be cancel and the number of senator should be reduce. This people are just collecting billions without any useful. All there salaries is enough to finance a state budget.
