The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has been instructed by the Senate’s Ad-hoc committee investigating the N30 trillion Ways and Means to retrieve a significant amount of N1.079 trillion that was loaned to farmers under the Anchor Borrowers Loan scheme.
The Chairman of the Committee, Senator Jibrin Isah (APC Kogi East) who expressed his dissatisfaction with the inadequate management of the loan recovery, gave this directive at an interface with officials of CBN and ordered the apex bank to debit the commercial banks that were utilised to disburse the loan.

The N1.079 trillion given as loans to farmers under the Anchor Borrowers Scheme was part of the money spent from the N22.7 trillion given as overdraft to President Muhammadu Buhari-led government by the CBN from 2015 to 2023, which later increased to N30 trillion on account of accrued interests.

You can’t restructure the loan forever. You can go after the collateral, you must up your games, we need to recover these monies. We can’t continue to restructure forever.
