Lawan did not tell colleagues the time the federal government incurred the debts, and FIJ had not obtained more information as of press time.
Earlier in May, Buhari also asked the Senate to approve an $800 million loan to finance the National Social Safety Network Programme, NSSP.
He wrote saying the FG would send the money to 10.2 million poor and low-income households for a period of six months
