The Federal Government of Nigeria together with ten other issuers has successfully listed N1.175 trillion worth of securities on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX), in a move expected to boost market liquidity and investor confidence.
The new listings include a mix of bonds, treasury bills, and corporate debt instruments, aimed at providing investors with diverse investment options while raising capital for infrastructure and development projects. Market analysts say the transaction underscores the growing role of the capital market in financing the government and private sector initiatives.
In a statement, NGX officials welcomed the listings, noting that they reflect increased market activity and investor appetite for long-term, secure investment instruments. The Federal Government and corporate issuers are expected to deploy the funds raised toward priority projects across various sectors, including energy, agriculture, and transportation.
Investors have been encouraged to take advantage of the new securities, which offer competitive returns and a reliable means of contributing to national development. The listing also signals the government’s commitment to deepening the Nigerian capital market and expanding investment opportunities for both institutional and retail investors.
