                    [Title] => Nigeria gets debt relief from Paris Club
                    [Summary] => I realize that our government’s finance people are too harassed these days to think of further complicating their lives with thoughts of seeking debt relief. But if the Supreme Court rules out the EVAT law with finality, we will have a totally new ballgame. 


For now, tough as the politics of it might be, they must think that making us pay higher taxes is the easier option out of our threatening debt problem. We are often told that we missed the window of opportunity for seeking debt relief when Tita Cory failed to ask for it in 1986.
