Abstract
Nigeria External debt's rising profile has been one of the disturbing factors affecting
the overall development of the country. Though it was a belief within the
government and well informed circle, that, Borrowing from Foreign Creditors will
aid the development of the Nigeria economy. But instead of ameliorating the macroeconomic
problems and general under developments of the country, it tend to
underdeveloped it the more, due to the rising debt profiles as a result of mismanagement
of the debts among other factors.
Thus, after making use of available secondary data at our disposal, with the aim of
looking into the causes, effects and solutions to the problems of the Nigeria debt and
its management; the study revealed that the Nigeria's external debt has seriously
hinders the overall developments of the economy vis-a-vis the country's balance of
payment, despite all efforts of successive governments in Nigeria at managing it.
Hence, with the above in view, it is believed that with proper institution of a dynamic
debt management programmes, and general discipline on behalf of the government
and the citizens, the problems of Nigerian external debt burden will be of the past.
