 Oyedele Urges Governors to Borrow for Infrastructure Only

The Chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, Taiwo Oyedele, has advised state governors to borrow money only for building infrastructure that spurs economic growth, not for routine government spending.

He clarified that borrowing is not inherently bad, but its purpose is what matters. “There is nothing wrong with borrowing; what matters is what you are borrowing for?” he stated. “We need to borrow less for recurrent spending, if at all, and borrow responsibly for infrastructure and productivity.” He commended states like Abia, Enugu, and Lagos, which allocate over 70% of their budgets to capital projects like roads and schools.
