Senate Commends Federal Government’s Fiscal PoliciesThe Senate has lauded the federal government’s decisive action in repaying a significant portion of the ₦30 trillion obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), amounting to a staggering ₦4.83 trillion. This proactive measure, coupled with the CBN’s settlement of $7 billion in valid foreign exchange backlogs, has injected renewed vigor into the economy, leading to a notable improvement in foreign direct investments.
In a statement released by Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, leader of the Senate, the positive impact of these actions is expected to reverberate across various sectors, particularly in mitigating inflationary pressures.
