AfDB Approves $500m Loan to Nigeria for Economic and Energy Reforms
The African Development Bank (AfDB) has approved a $500 million loan for Nigeria to support economic stabilization, energy sector reforms, and sustainable growth initiatives across the country.
The African Development Bank (AfDB) has approved a $500 million loan for Nigeria to boost the country’s ongoing economic and energy sector reforms.
According to official updates, the loan is part of a broader support package aimed at helping Nigeria stabilize key sectors, improve fiscal management, and strengthen reforms targeted at long-term economic growth.
The funds will assist the government in areas such as power sector restructuring, renewable energy expansion, macroeconomic stabilization, and improving business-friendly policies that can attract private investment.
The AfDB noted that Nigeria is currently implementing a series of challenging but necessary economic adjustments, including efforts to strengthen public finance, reduce deficits, and improve transparency in the energy value chain.
The newly approved loan is expected to complement these reforms, with a strong focus on improving electricity supply, addressing sector inefficiencies, and enhancing overall economic resilience.
Government officials believe the support will help accelerate development programs and reinforce confidence in Nigeria’s economic recovery plans.
More details on the disbursement timeline and key reform priorities are expected in the coming weeks.
