Target 8.D – Reducing External Debt and<br />

Achieving the MDGs<br />

The flow <strong>of</strong> Official Development Assistance<br />

(ODA), including debt relief gains, from<br />

developed countries <strong>to</strong> <strong>Nigeria</strong> has increased<br />

dramatically since 2004, rising from US$4.49 per<br />

person in 2004 <strong>to</strong> US$81.67 per person in 2006<br />

and 2007 (Table 21). <strong>Nigeria</strong>'s economy was overburdened<br />

by the country's huge external debt for<br />

many years. In 1990, for example, servicing the<br />

country's external debt consumed 22.3 per cent <strong>of</strong><br />

the value <strong>of</strong> the country's exports <strong>of</strong> goods and<br />

services. <strong>Nigeria</strong> obtained debt relief in 2005,<br />

when the Paris Club wrote <strong>of</strong>f US$18 billion <strong>of</strong> its<br />

debt on condition that the country pays <strong>of</strong>f the<br />

balance <strong>of</strong> approximately US$12.4 billion owed <strong>to</strong><br />

the Paris Club credi<strong>to</strong>rs. <strong>Nigeria</strong> paid <strong>of</strong>f its debt<br />

<strong>to</strong> the Paris Club in 2006. It subsequently paid <strong>of</strong>f<br />

its debt <strong>to</strong> the London Club <strong>of</strong> credi<strong>to</strong>rs through<br />

par bonds worth US$1.486 billion and promissory<br />

notes worth US$476 million. In addition, in 2007<br />

<strong>Nigeria</strong> repurchased about 21 per cent <strong>of</strong><br />

outstanding oil warrants issued under a debt<br />

restructuring deal in 1991. All Paris Club debt<br />

relief gains were dedicated <strong>to</strong> additional spending<br />

on pro-poor projects and programmes <strong>to</strong>wards<br />

achieving the MDGs in <strong>Nigeria</strong>. The flow <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong>ficial development assistance (ODA) from<br />

developed countries <strong>to</strong> <strong>Nigeria</strong> rose from<br />

$4.49/person in 2004 <strong>to</strong> $81.67 in 2006 and 2007.<br />

This increase is as a result <strong>of</strong> debt relief gains but<br />

it is not enough <strong>to</strong> make progress on the MDGs.<br />
