Lai Mohammed, minister of information, says the federal government will resubmit the loan request which the senate rejected on Tuesday, and provide “all the information” which the lawmakers need.
The senators kicked out the request on the grounds that the letter conveying it was not accompanied by a borrowing plan.
But Reuters quoted him as telling reporters that the lawmakers will accede to the request by the time “we finish”.
“It is not unusual for the government and the Senate to have some disagreements, they want more information,” Lai Mohammed told reporters on Wednesday,” he reportedly said.

“We will give them all the information they need … and we are sure that by the time we finish they (lawmakers) will approve the request.”
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had asked the national assembly to reject the proposal “because it will plunge the country into huge debts”.
