A new $500 million loan for Nigeria has been approved by the World Bank despite the concerns of the House of Representatives, who are cautioning against a return to the of high debts for Nigeria.

The Federal government recently obtained a $3.6 billion loan.

A World Bank officer said, "The loan is intended to provide budgetary support to the Federal Government of Nigeria to partially off- set the fiscal impact of the crisis as well as maintain its current economic reform path in the financial sector, fiscal policy and financial management, and governance,"

And the World Bank's Country Director for Nigeria, said "The benefits to be derived from the program include maintaining confidence and stability in the financial system, strengthening the banking system, supporting reforms spearheaded by the Central Bank of Nigeria, as well as supporting the Government's fiscal and financial management, including the objectives of the 2009 budget that focuses on maintaining fiscal stability while raising government investment spending to accelerate non-oil growth".

In a motion, the House of Representatives cautioned President Yar'adua over taking more foreign loans, saying that Nigeria could be heading towards the same history of having large foreign debt burden despite the relief recently granted by international creditors.

The motion seeks to investigate the objective of the $3.6 billion foreign loans recently taken by the Federal Government and asked the President to halt further foreign loans until the circumstances leading to Nigeria's current debt burden of $3.6bn are understood. The motion seeks "to mandate the Joint committee on Aids, Loans and Debt management and Justice to as a matter of urgency, investigate under what platform and approval these foreign loans are being sought, processed, drawn, utilized, and their relevance to the needs of Nigerians and advice the House on legality or otherwise of the loan and report to the House within two weeks".

this amount is less than what Abacha has in one of his foreign account, stolen from the govt. The list is here on my post.

The govt is fooling the people,
The said borrowed money will end up in few people's account.
             MAY GOD DELIVER NIGERIA
