The 10th Senate on Thursday (13th July) approved $800m World Bank loan request brought before it by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The loan was considered by the Committee of the whole during plenary.
It will be recalled that former President Muhammadu Buhari had, towards the end of his administration, forwarded same request to the 9th Senate in May, but it could not be considered as result of timing and uproar from Nigerians.
Tinubu’s letter was read by the Senate President Godswill Akpabio earlier during plenary as he asked the 10th Senate to approve the same loan requested earlier by his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari.
