The May 2026 issuance offered returns of up to 14.525% per annum, making it one of the highest-yielding offers under the FGN Savings Bond programme this year.
The FGN Savings Bond programme was introduced to deepen retail participation in Nigeria’s domestic debt market and promote financial inclusion by providing accessible investment opportunities for individual investors and small institutions.
The instruments are backed by the full faith and credit of the Federal Government, making them attractive to investors seeking relatively secure and predictable returns.
