Nigeria Secures $1 Billion Loan from Afreximbank, Disbursement Set for May

In a significant development, Nigeria is poised to receive a $1.05 billion syndicated loan supported by oil from the African Export-Import Bank in the coming month.

The loan forms part of a larger $3.3 billion prepayment facility facilitated by Afreximbank, with repayment conditions linked to crude oil shipments from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd.

Denys Denya, Senior Executive Vice President for Finance, Administration, and Banking at Afreximbank, affirmed the completion of crude availability verification, clearing the path for the impending disbursement within May.

The primary objective of the loan is to bolster Nigeria’s economy and bolster the availability of foreign currency in the local foreign exchange market. Notably, a significant portion of the loan, amounting to two-thirds, had already been allocated in January.

This financial arrangement is strategically structured to furnish Nigeria with immediate financial resources based on anticipated oil production, offering crucial support to the nation’s economic recovery efforts.
