    The first project, the Nigeria Reforms for Economic Stabilization to Enable Transformation Development Policy Financing, is slated to receive $1.5 billion. Meanwhile, the NG Accelerating Resource Mobilization Reforms Programme is proposed to receive $750 million.
    The programs aim to increase non-oil revenues, safeguard oil and gas revenues, strengthen tax and customs administrations, and expand social safety nets % align with the government's economic stabilization and recovery priorities
    The approved package offers favorable terms, including a 40-year term with a 10-year moratorium. A copy of the plan’s documen indicates potential reintroduction of previously suspended telecom taxes and fiscal measures to secure the $750 million loan.
    Finance Minister Wale Edun announced that Nigeria had qualified for a loan of $2.25 billion from the World Bank at a nominal interest rate of one percent, describing it as "virtually a grant." It’s for about 10- 20 years moratorium and about one percent interest.
