TL;DR

The Debt Management Office (DMO) has listed its 18.95 percent N47.36 billion Series III Sovereign Green Bond, due June 2030, on both the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) and FMDQ Securities Exchange.

This is the third green bond issued by the DMO on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria, intended to finance green projects supporting Nigeria's low-carbon and climate-resilient development goals.

The listing aims to provide liquidity to investors and achieve price transparency, while also deepening Nigeria's domestic bond market and increasing visibility for climate-focused financial instruments.

Intelligence

The listing of Nigeria's third sovereign green bond signals that the federal government is building a repeatable pipeline of climate-linked debt instruments, not treating green finance as a one-off.

For institutional investors, fund managers, and ESG-focused portfolio allocators operating in Nigeria, this creates a growing domestic asset class worth tracking through 2030.

Over the next 12 to 24 months, the expansion of this market could attract international ethical investors and development finance institutions seeking Nigerian sovereign exposure with a climate mandate.
