This was one of the decisions reached at the council meeting on Wednesday in Abuja, during which a new Debt Management Strategy was approved for the country.
The Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, briefed State House correspondents at the end of the meeting, presided over by Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.
Mrs Adeosun explained that the government decided to produce a new debt management strategy for 2016 to 2019.
