Debt Service vs Development
This policy brief examines Nigeria’s rising debt burden and escalating debt service obligations, highlighting how weak revenue mobilisation, persistent borrowing, and currency pressures have pushed the country into a fiscal crisis. It shows how growing debt service costs are crowding out spending on infrastructure, social sectors, and private sector growth, and outlines the urgent need for reforms to restore fiscal sustainability and protect long-term development outcomes.
