This shows confidence in the economy is overwhelming

While around $1.5 billion was offered, Nigeria recorded a total subscription of $8.8 billion. Only $2.2 billion was later allotted.

The allotments are - $700 million for the 6.5-year bond priced at 9.625% and a larger $1.5 billion for the 10-year bond priced at 10.375%.

How else do you describe investors confidence in the ongoing reforms?

Almost 600% over subscription on Eurobond is perhaps unprecedented.

Very soon we will create ministry of loan and have a minister, like minister of loan. His job would be to just be taking loans.

We prefer to loot the small money we are generating as a country and then turn a round to borrow only to still loot it again.

Lol, "soldiers come and go, but evil remains." The same applies to leaders - even if we replace them all, we the followers will just continue where they left off. The truth is, we're all part of the problem. Greed and selfishness run deep in our society. It's our attitudes and mindsets that prevent us from developing.

Even the ones who complain the most would probably do a worse job if given the chance to lead. We only seem to criticize our leaders when we're not benefitting from the corrupt system. But once we in, corruption suddenly becomes the norm for us too. So really, it's not just about blaming our leaders - we need to look in the mirror and realize that change starts with each one of us.

Peace!

In summary, this is another loan. angry
All these external loans should stop.
It appears as if there are a few people in the federal government and the lending institution who get commissions from these loans.
When the federal government takes external loans, they indirectly take money from the general Nigerian population through naira devaluation, increase in the price of petroleum products, and excessive inflation.

People have refused to ask critical question. Wale Edu came out to claim Tinubu's government have saved $20b from subsidy removal and floating of naira but the same government has been going on borrowing spree and everybody just keep mute as if nothing happen.
As I always say, the government or country can develop on lies. Every country that had developed or on the process of developing are built on truthfulness and sincerity and not built on falsehood.
Even those out representative that are voted to be check and balance to the executive, are just approving the loans without asking question.
You can say you save such huge amount and still go borrowing. It shows there is no sincerity in their government.

So what's your solution if you're given the chance?
For me, I've prayed if I die and go to hell, the first person I'll meet is tinubu. I'll fight him, kill him the second time.
Do you know how much school fees nigerian students are paying now in UK, USA and other countries? Like times 4 of what they usually pay as of June 2023 before the bat!Diot devalue the currency.
So increasing this, plus fuel price, how is it benefiting the common man? Today price of pizza and shawarma that usually cost 2k is going for 15k.

The useless law makers, are benefiting. When was the last time you hear a honourable, a seating senator of your senatorial District that he has granted students scholarships or study abroad as it use to be?

Have you forgotten in your secondary school you'll hear many governors, senator's, house sending people from their wards abroad? Today where are there?
Looting is not even enough for their children and their many wives. Such a wickedness in china you're sentence to death. In America you're either jailed are got shot by angry citizen. If they can try to silence (k!LL) trump who's Tinubu?

If they can allow Nigerians to hold guns, by now many of them would've gone but they're not mad enough to allow citizens own guns like in the states because they know it's a threat to them.

Anything not benefiting law , and the president's family is not allowed into the Senate. They don't care about ordinary Nigerian. It's wickedness reason I South Africa, Dubai and other countries whenever they mock us. They're saying the truth like it or not. Half a million citizens leaving the country every year means alot. We're now like Zimbabweans migrating to any useless countries even Ghana and Cameroon to receive insults, and it's getting worse every day.

Here in Canada those politicians children are hiding, they don't go out. Their parents are telling them and they know the dangers otherwise we know how to stroll them even online, they don't use their parents names.

People abroad now all have stop sending money to their relatives back home because they believe they voted this theives, hence the suffering increases..

And Like you said everyone is damm corrupt and it's true judging from the women who were made ministers, they looted more than the corrupt men. But if I have the chance, I'll step on their toes jail each and everyone of them, k!LL and silence them one after the other like what Israel and Iran is doing. Kill them until they're no more, even root to their families. No pity. Otherwise the menace will continue.

I rest!

They are in FAAC, meaning the country no more generating anything and it is only subsidy remittance that they share monthly.

They are in an increased minimum wage. I am a federal worker but till date I have not been paid minimum wage. In my organisation alone at least we are almost 4,000 workers, lest I talk about complementary organizations like my own that have not been paid too till date. Those ones are even more than my own organization in number.

Please how many students have so far accessed the students' loan. Report says N11,047,793,949.80 billion have been disbursed to 105,764 students. Then, you ask yourself, how much is 105,764 in a country where over 133m people are in abject poverty and 88m in an extreme poverty.

Mr. Man, there is no project Tinubu's government have embarked on that he has not sourced for loan. His government has borrowed over #20 trillion in just less than two years while in the whole 8 years of Buhari he only borrowed #31 trillions. Truly you ers of Tinubu no get shame at all to even have the gut reeling out nonsense thinking you're discussing with a novice.

May your life be ran the same way Tinubu is running this our country.

that another $2.2b just added to the bloated loans already secured. Shame?

Nigeria has successfully priced $2.2 billion in Eurobonds to the 2024 budget deficit. The issuance, which includes $700 million maturing in 2031 and $1.5 billion maturing in 2034, was well-received across various international markets, with strong demand from investors in the UK, North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, as well as participation from Nigerian investors. This demonstrates continued confidence in Nigeria's macroeconomic policies and fiscal management.

The bond issuance was priced with a coupon of 9.625% and a re-offer yield of 10.375%. It attracted over $9 billion in orders, reflecting broad from a range of investor classes, including fund managers, insurance and pension funds, hedge funds, and financial institutions. This strong demand signals growing confidence in Nigeria’s economic outlook and its ability to access international capital markets.

The proceeds from this issuance will be used to finance the 2024 fiscal deficit and the government’s budgetary needs. This success is a clear sign of investor confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s efforts to stabilize and grow the Nigerian economy sustainably and inclusively. It also underscores the resilience of Nigeria’s credit and the country’s continued access to international markets to meet its financing needs.

The transaction was led by Chapel Hill Denham, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, and Standard Chartered Bank, with FSDH Merchant Bank Limited acting as financial adviser. We are optimistic that this successful issuance will help strengthen Nigeria’s financial position as we continue to work towards a more diversified and robust economy.
