The government expects 1.2 million jobs to be created through the utilisation of the loan.

The Executive Council of the Federation on Wednesday approved the issuance of a 500 million Euro Sovereign Guarantee from the Credit Suisse AG London Branch as collateral for a loan.

Mr Agba briefed State House correspondents at the end of the FEC meeting presided by President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday. “The guarantor of the loan shall be the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to be executed through the Ministry of Finance Budget and National Planning,” Mr Agba said. To mitigate the foreign exchange risks often associated with such facilities, the minister said the loan will be swapped to Naira by the Central Bank of Nigeria and made available to Nigerian enterprises in local currency.The new loan will further raise concerns among Nigerians about the country’s debt profile.

The Minister for Power, Saleh Mamman, said the ministry expected President Buhari to approve the memo sent to him seeking the ratification for the release of the fund.
