Peter Obi

The 2023 Labour Party, LP, Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi has urged the Nigerian Government to use borrowed funds to create jobs and improve the standard of living in the country. Obi noted that it was alarming that government borrowing reached a staggering N121.86 in the first quarter.

He disclosed that the fact that several trillion were borrowed in just three months highlights the urgent need for prudent management of the country's finances. Posting on X, Obi wrote: 'I have consistently maintained that borrowing is not inherently problematic, as long as it is utilized for productive purposes that drive economic growth and development.

'On the other hand, if the funds are channelled into productive endeavours such as infrastructure development, education, healthcare, and entrepreneurship, we can expect positive outcomes that benefit our economy and citizens in the long run. As I recall, the law governing borrowing is explicit, requiring detailed explanations of the intended use, timing, and other relevant parameters.
