Taiwo Oyedele Poor governance, lack of transparency and use of improper strategies have been identified as some of the challenges affecting debt management practice in West Africa. Chairman of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) and the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA) Debt Management Roundtable, Taiwo Oyedele, said this during the launch of the Debt Management Roundtable to help Nigeria and West African countries provide a pathway to fiscal sustainability. He said the debt burden was not about the present but the future generation, stressing that debt was not necessarily bad if properly managed. x While calling for collaboration with the private sector through social financing and public-private partnership (PPP), he said the roundtable would develop analytics that formed the basis, fiscal consideration and sustainability, comparative analysis and also help to champion advocacy.
