Insurgency: Senate has Approved President Jonathan's $1 Billion Loan
The Senate has approved the $1 billion dollar loan requested by
President Goodluck Jonathan to tackle insecurity and terrorism in the
country. The approval, however, did not come easily as some lawmakers
argued that President Jonathan breached the constitutionally laid down
process of requesting for extra budgetary funds. But the Chairman Senate
Committee on Finance said President Jonathan is in full compliance of
the law on this matter. President Jonathan had written a letter asking
the Senate in July to approve a $1 billion loan for the fight against
Boko Haram. The President said he needed the cash to upgrade military
equipment and for training as well as logistics for the Armed Forces.
