NIGERIA'S DEBT IS TOO MUCH. NEITI.

Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, NEITI, in its latest Quarter Review, disclosed that  a total of N513 billion was spent on debt servicing by the three tiers in the first quarter of 2017, compared to total disbursements of N1.276 trillion. According to reports: “This means that debt servicing took up 40.27 per cent of FAAC disbursement for the first quarter of this year. “The figure reveals that debt servicing as proportion of total FAAC allocations is generally higher in the first quarter of the year, after which it falls to lower levels. “Based on this, the figure of 40.27 percent observed in the first quarter of 2017 might be an upper threshold and it would thus be expected that this figure will be lower for the remaining quarters of the year.”
The report also stated that the Debt Management Office, DMO, is yet to provide data on the figure for the second quarter of 2017.
According to the NEITI report, in the first quarter of 2015, domestic debt servicing made up over 93 percent of total debt servicing, while the figure did not change much by the first quarter of 2017 as domestic debt servicing was over 92 per cent of total debt servicing.
It added that domestic debt servicing constituted 90 percent  of total debt servicing, explaining that domestic debt servicing consistently outstripped external debt servicing.
Also, the report stated that N760.18 billion was released by the Federal Government to the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, paid in two tranches.The money represents refunds of over deductions from FAAC allocations to states and local governments used for quick payment of debt relief granted to Nigeria by the Paris Club between 1995 and 2002.
 Rivers received the highest amount of N44.93 billion followed by Delta with N37.61billion and Akwa Ibom N35.98 billion, while Bayelsa got N34.9 billion and Kano state received  N31.74 billion.Federal Capital Territory, Abuja received N2.05 billion.
