The Federal Government has offered for subscription by auction N90 billion worth of bonds in its Aug. 15 auction, the Debt Management Office (DMO) has said.
The offer circular obtained from its website on Thursday in Abuja, showed that it would sell N25 billion of a five-year re-opening issue maturing in April 2023 at 12.75 per cent.
It would also sell N25 billion seven-year re-opening bond to mature in March 2025 at 13.53 per cent and another N40 billion 10 year re-opening at 13.98 per cent to mature in Feb. 2028.
