The African Development Bank has loaned Nigeria just over $288m (£227m) to help it deal with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The finance minister warned last month that Nigeria's economy - Africa's largest - could shrink by up to 9%.
It's suffered a big hit from the global slump in oil prices in recent months.

In April, Nigeria received an emergency package worth about $3.4bn from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), to help support the economy during the pandemic.
