According to the World Bank’s latest financial statements, Nigeria’s exposure to the IDA surged by 14.4 percent, rising from $14.3 billion in fiscal year 2023 to $16.5 billion in fiscal year 2024.

This $2.2 billion increase marks Nigeria’s first appearance among the top three IDA debtors.

The IDA provides concessional loans and grants to the world’s poorest countries, with low interest rates and extended repayment periods.

Nigeria’s borrowing from the IDA has been on the rise, with the country receiving at least $2.2 billion in new loans from the IDA under the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

The Central Bank of Nigeria’s international payment portal has also revealed that the Tinubu administration spent $5.39 billion on debt servicing out of a total of $9.1 billion in international payments made between June 2023 and July 2024.

This represents 59 percent of the total international payments made during this period.
