Nigeria suspends debt payments
Nigeria has said it can no longer afford to service its $33bn foreign debts because its oil revenues have plunged and because some of its privatisation plans have failed.
Consequently, the country has suspended payments on its debts, said the governor of the central bank, Joseph Sanusi.

Last month, Nigeria held foreign exchange reserves of only slightly more than $8bn, down about a fifth since December.

Mr Sanusi said he had decided to halt all debt repayments rather than to eat further into the reserves.
