Countries and institutions lend to Nigeria because we can repay back — Buhari

Former President Buhari Reacts to Coup in Niger Republic

Nigerian loans are approved by nations and organisations, according to President Muhammadu Buhari.

The President addressed the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria on Wednesday at a meeting held at the White House (CBCN).

According to Buhari, lenders have complete faith in Nigeria’s ability to make use of its resources and make loan repayments.

“We are credible, that’s why the countries and institutions agreed to support our development with loans.”

However, he denounced the demolition of oil infrastructure, which reduced income production.

The President gave the clergymen assurances that the government would take saboteurs more seriously.

Buhari continued by saying that difficulties in the past, such as coups and civil war, have equipped the country for survival.

“We thank God that Nigeria is still one. We should not forget that more than a million died for the nation to survive”, he said.
