Adams Oshiomhole, former governor of Edo State, is standing firmly behind President Bola Tinubu's borrowing plan. Oshiomhole argues that the proposed loans are not reckless spending but a deliberate move to channel funds into critical infrastructure and kick-start broader economic growth.
His defence comes at a time when public debate around Nigeria's rising debt profile remains heated. For many Nigerians watching their wallets shrink, the distinction between borrowing to build and borrowing to survive is one that matters deeply.
Whether the infrastructure promised actually reaches communities on the ground is the question worth watching.
