This additional money is to bridge its infrastructure deficits over two decades.

TVC News Nigeria gives us a report on a FG Release.

The Federal Government has announced a revised National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan that will fund key sectors in the economy, such as power, rail, roads, housing and agriculture, from 2022 to 2043. This was announced by the Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, Hajiya Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed, at a media briefing in Abuja. Nigeria will require a staggering $2.3 trillion or 1 Quadrillion Naira to bridge its infrastructure deficits in the next 21 years, according to Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning Hajiya Zainab Ahmed. This is an immense challenge, but one that we must meet if we are to build a prosperous future for our country.

When money is mentioned one needs to be cautious in Nigeria I doubt if they would be used judiciously but if well spent it is a welcome development.

All this talks without action will lead Nigeria to nothing because all the money we get on crude oil,tax and everyday borrowing funds from local and international organisations has not been have good effect on the life of citizens,the main problem facing the country is corruption from the bureaucracy and the politicians.

Where will the government see such a huge amount of money. We are already at the top 5 of world bank borrower’s list I hope they are not hoping to borrow more loans to finance the development.

Government too talk. All the loan they collected what is the result. All the revenue that this country has received what have they done with all this money. Corruption everywhere in government circle. They should go ahead and look for 1 Quadrillion

This is quite a lot. The ones they’ve been borrowing and embezzling, what have they used it for?

Building a prosperous future country starts from the minds of the government. Money doesn’t seem like a problem; they claim there’s limited funds, yet they embezzle outrageously. The funds we have, how have we used it to make the country better. We don’t need to have all the money in the world to make the country better; our leaders are just wicked greedy bastards

It is in the heads of the government that the foundation for a flourishing nation’s future is laid. No one seemed to be short on cash, despite massive instances of embezzlement.

Since the government has been collecting loans for years with no visible results, I highly doubt that this extra cash would make a difference.

This is an extremely difficult obstacle, but it is one that we have to overcome if we want to ensure a prosperous future for our nation.

It is very encouraging that the Federal Government has unveiled a new version of the National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan, which would provide funding for important economic sectors.

How have we utilized the resources at our disposal to advance the nation’s progress? It is not necessary for us to own all of the money in the world in order to improve the state of our nation because our leaders are nothing but evil, selfish bastards.

I seriously doubt that this additional money will make a difference. The government has been collecting loans for years, and there has been no change up to this point. This is money that the government should just throw away.

Where exactly will the government get its hands on such a significant sum of money? Since we are already among the top five borrowers from the World Bank, I am hopeful that they do not have any plans to take out additional loans in order to support the development.

In Nigeria, one must exercise caution whenever the subject of money is up. I have my doubts that they would be used wisely, but any good use of them would be appreciated.

With the debt that Nigeria is still serving, for these to be achievable then it means we have to borrow more or find other means of generating the money.
