Buhari asks NASS to reconsider stance on loan repayment of N22.7trn to CBN

President Muhammadu Buhari has asked the National Assembly to reconsider its position on his request to pay an outstanding N22.7 trillion to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

He made the appeal on Tuesday when he signed the 2023 budget into law.

The money, he had said, was taken by the federal government from the apex bank and it is the balance accumulated for over 10 years.
