The settlement date is set for March 15, 2023, with coupon payment dates scheduled for June 15, September 15, December 15, and March 15.

DMO said interested investors can purchase these bonds through any licensed brokerage firm in the country.

The FGN savings bond is a secure debt instrument backed by the full faith and credit of the Nigerian government and can be used as a liquid asset for liquidity ratio calculation for banks.

It is also a qualified security under the Trustee Investment Act, making it an attractive option for trustees.

“This offering presents an opportunity for retail investors to invest in a low-risk, high-yield asset with a low entry barrier, which could potentially enhance their investment portfolio,” DMO said.
