The senate has given the government of President Muhammadu Buhari the approval to borrow $1.5 billion and €995 million loans.
The Senate President Ahmad Lawan-led parliament gave the approval at plenary on Wednesday.
The approval was given after the senate considered the report of the Committee on Local and Foreign debts.
Senator Clifford Ordia, Chairman of the Committee, had presented the report of his panel.
Critics of the government have been complaining about the borrowings of the Buhari administration but the Federal Government has defended its action, saying it is meant for the development of the nation.
