Ikokwu To Tinubu: We Are Not Seeing Value For The Money Being Borrowed

NDC Campaign Council Spokesperson, Constance Ikokwu, has raised concerns over the borrowing activities of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, questioning whether Nigerians are receiving meaningful benefits from the funds being borrowed by the Federal Government.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Sunday, November 15, 2026, Ikokwu expressed concern about the relationship between the government’s borrowing and the actual improvements Nigerians are experiencing.

She suggested that the central issue should not simply be how much the government borrows but whether the borrowed funds are being put to productive use and delivering the expected results.

In her remarks, Ikokwu appeared to direct a message to President Tinubu, stressing that the government must demonstrate the tangible benefits of its borrowing decisions.

According to her, Nigerians should be able to identify the projects, developments and improvements associated with the loans being secured by the administration.

She stated emphatically: “Let’s not argue about the value, the most important thing is that we are not seeing value for the money being borrowed”.

Her comment suggests that the debate surrounding government borrowing should go beyond the total amount of money obtained through loans. Rather, she believes greater attention should be given to accountability, transparency and the effective utilisation of public funds.

Ikokwu’s position also raises questions about the responsibility of the Federal Government to explain how borrowed resources are being spent and what concrete outcomes they are producing for the country.

With Nigerians facing various economic and developmental challenges, she believes citizens deserve to see corresponding benefits from the financial commitments made in their name.
