According to the 2024 Fourth Quarter and Consolidated Budget Implementation Report released by the Budget Office of the Federation, the Federal Government exceeded its original borrowing target by ₦4.79 trillion, reaching a total borrowing of ₦12.62 trillion—a 61.2% increase from the planned ₦7.83 trillion.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

  • Revenue Shortfall: Total revenue stood at ₦20.98 trillion, falling ₦4.90 trillion short of the ₦25.88 trillion target, largely driven by lower-than-expected oil earnings (gross oil revenue missed its target by ₦4.93 trillion due to lower crude prices and production output).

  • Expenditure & Deficit: Total expenditure was ₦34.49 trillion (close to the ₦35.06 trillion estimate). However, the revenue shortfall widened the fiscal deficit to ₦13.51 trillion, which is ₦4.34 trillion higher than projected.

  • Debt Servicing & Public Debt: Total debt expenditure surged to ₦12.36 trillion (exceeding the budgeted ₦8.27 trillion by 52.71%). By December 2024, Nigeria’s total public debt climbed to ₦144.67 trillion, pushing the debt-to-GDP ratio to 61.22%.

Stakeholder Perspectives:

While economic experts like Aliyu Ilias and Dr. Muda Yusuf cautioned against the rapid accumulation of debt and its inflationary risks, the Presidency and Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele defended the borrowings. They emphasized that loans remain vital for funding critical infrastructure, provided the funds are utilized productively for high-return assets.
