尼日利亚和大多数非洲国家一样，在过去40年里接受了数十亿美元的外国援助和贷款，但迄今为止没有任何成果。要求停止向发展中国家，特别是尼日利亚提供援助和贷款的争论，尤其基于几十年来人民群众所忍受的巨大的严酷现实。本文对国际货币基金组织的结构调整政策（SAP）对尼日利亚政治生态的突出方面的影响进行了文献调查，发现国际货币基金组织的条件限制令人怀疑地旨在维持从债务国向债权国的持续资源转移，对债务国的环境和公民人口的生活成本产生不利影响。这些政策带来的逆境最终违反了关于生命权和福祉的国际公约。因此，该研究要求民间社会团体、非政府组织和有关国际组织进行干预，并重新确定债务国与其债权人之间的约定条件，以期解决债务国特别是尼日利亚公民所承受的不成比例的外债及其附加条件。
Nigeria as also most African countries have as yet nothing to show from receiving foreign aid and loans running into billions of dollars well over the past 40 years. The contention for an end to aids and loans to developing countries and Nigeria in particular especially holds from the immense harsh realities that have been endured by the masses of the people all through the decades external aids have subsisted. The paper carried out a documentary survey of the impact of International Monetary Fund’s structural adjustment policies (SAP) on salient aspects of the Nigerian political ecology and found that IMF conditionalities are dubiously aimed at maintaining continued resource transfer from debtor countries to creditor nations with adverse impact on the environment and cost of living of the civic population of debtor countries. The adversities brought about by the policies ultimately violate international conventions on rights to life and well-being. The study therefore requests civil society groups, nongovernmental organisations and concerned international organisations to intervene and redefine the terms of engagement between debtor nations and their creditors with a view to redressing the disproportionate incidence of external debt and its conditionalities on the civic population of debtor nations especially those of Nigeria.
