Nestoil pays $40 million more to lenders after EFCC steps in

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has helped resolve the debt issue between Nestoil Limited and a group of lenders. Nestoil has now paid an extra $40 million to its creditors.

This new payment on 19 October brings the total amount paid to $100 million so far, according to sources close to the situation.

This is a big step forward in the repayment plan that Nestoil and the lenders agreed on during a meeting arranged by the EFCC. This meeting led to an initial payment of $60 million from Nestoil to the banks.

The agreement outlines how the remaining debt will be repaid, following the terms both sides accepted and the relevant laws.
