Nigeria can’t rely on borrowing forever, Finance Minister warns over fresh World Bank loan plans By Paul Joseph Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, has declared that the country can no longer depend heavily on borrowing to fund national development, insisting that stronger tax reforms and sustainable revenue generation are now critical to the nation’s future. Speaking at the 28th Annual Tax Conference of the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria in Abuja, Oyedele said Nigeria must build a resilient fiscal system capable of financing infrastructure, healthcare, education, security and social welfare without excessive reliance on debt. His remarks come amid reports that the Federal Government is seeking a fresh $1.25 billion loan from the World Bank to support economic reforms and job creation initiatives. According to the minister, the government’s ongoing tax reforms are designed to improve fiscal sustainability, attract investment, reduce inequality and stimulate long-term economic growth. Oyedele noted that Nigeria’s tax system has for years been weakened by multiple taxation, poor compliance, fragmented administration and overdependence on a narrow revenue base, making it difficult for government revenues to adequately support development needs. He explained that the proposed reforms aim to simplify taxation, improve fairness and reduce the burden on low- and middle-income earners while creating a more investor-friendly environment. The minister disclosed that minimum wage earners have now been exempted from personal income tax, while plans are underway to reduce company income tax rates in order to encourage business expansion and investment. He added that reforms to the Value Added Tax system are expected to lower operational costs, improve efficiency and help moderate inflationary pressures across the economy. Oyedele further revealed that at least 15 states have already adopted tax harmonisation laws aimed at reducing multiple taxation and easing compliance burdens on businesses operating across the country. Also speaking at the conference, Vice-President Kashim Shettima defended the reforms, describing them as pro-people and pro-business measures intended to strengthen the economy and lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty. Former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, also backed the reforms, arguing that wealthy Nigerians and private jet owners should contribute more through taxation to support national development.

As the countdown to the end of his administration gradually begins, Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, has sent a strong message to political appointees and senior government officials, warning against disloyalty and political betrayal in the closing phase of his government.

Key Highlights:

  • Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri warned officials against disloyalty as his tenure nears its end.
  • He called for unity and commitment despite growing political interests.
  • Fintiri credited the administration’s progress to teamwork.
  • He pledged to finish projects and ensure a peaceful transition.
  • Deputy Governor Kaletapwa George Farauta praised his leadership and support for the government.

The governor delivered the message during a Sallah homage held at the Government House in Yola, where members of the Adamawa State Executive Council, permanent secretaries, and other senior government officials gathered to celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir festival with him.

At the heart of Gov. Fintiri’s remarks was a call for unwavering loyalty, unity, and commitment among those serving under his administration.

 According to him, the achievements recorded so far by the government were made possible through collective dedication and shared responsibility.

He cautioned officials against abandoning the administration in pursuit of personal political ambitions, stressing that trust betrayed is often difficult to regain.

Political observers view the governor’s comments as a clear signal that the administration intends to maintain discipline, stability, and focus as it enters its final phase. 

In many political settings, the period leading to the end of a tenure is often characterized by shifting loyalties, succession calculations, and realignment of political interests.

However, Gov. Fintiri insisted that governance must remain the priority, regardless of the political atmosphere surrounding the approaching transition.

“The final phase of the administration requires greater sacrifice and commitment,” the governor stated, emphasizing that public service demands consistency and loyalty until the last day in office.

He assured residents that his administration remains committed to consolidating its achievements, completing ongoing projects, and laying enduring foundations that would continue to benefit future generations in Adamawa state.

The governor also gave assurances of a peaceful and constitutional transition process at the expiration of his tenure, expressing confidence that the legacies established across critical sectors of the state would be preserved and sustained.

The event also provided an opportunity for top government officials to publicly reaffirm their support for the administration.

Leading the delegation, the Deputy Governor, Prof. Kaletapwa George Farauta described Gov. Fintiri as a courageous, focused, and visionary leader who has continued to provide direction for the state despite political and social challenges.

She said the Sallah homage was not only to celebrate Eid-el-Kabir with the governor, but also to pray for continued peace, unity, and progress in Adamawa State.

Prof. Farauta further commended the administration for fostering peaceful coexistence among people of different faiths, attributing the development to the governor’s inclusive leadership style and commitment to justice and fairness.

Analysts say the governor’s remarks may shape the political atmosphere in Adamawa in the coming months as attention gradually shifts toward succession politics and the future of governance in the state.

For now, the administration appears determined to project unity and continuity while focusing on completing its developmental agenda before the end of its tenure.
