A lawmaker, Yayi, has proposed loan restructuring to ease fiscal pressure on Ogun State, which has a debt of ₦538 billion. According to him, the naira value of foreign-denominated loans rises when the local currency depreciates, increasing the amount recorded as debt even where the original borrowing was denominated in dollars. The proposal aims to address the state's debt burden.
