flag Nigerian ex-candidate Peter Obi warns $18.7B debt is unsustainable due to mismanagement, not productive investment.

flag Former Nigerian presidential candidate Peter Obi has warned that Nigeria’s $18.7 billion debt, making it the World Bank’s third-largest debtor, is unsustainable because funds are used for consumption and mismanagement rather than productive investment. flag He contrasted Nigeria’s economic decline—GDP below $250 billion and per capita income of $850–$1,000 since 2015—with Bangladesh’s growth, attributing the difference to strategic use of loans in manufacturing, infrastructure, and education. flag Obi stressed that debt can drive development only when invested in long-term growth, not wasted on inefficiency or corruption.
