Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed has said the Federal Government will enforce recovery of N5.2 trillion debt owed by over 5,000 debtors through various Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs.

She revealed that N53.5 billion has been recovered in the last one and a half years.
