“Interest is payable quarterly, while bullet repayment is on the maturity date.”
It noted that FGN bonds, like all other federal government securities, are backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government and charged upon the general assets of Nigeria.
The DMO said: “They qualify as securities in which trustees can invest under the Trustee Investment Act.
“They qualify as government securities within the meaning of the Company Income Tax Act and Personal Income Tax Act for exemption for pension funds, amongst other investors.
“They are listed on the Nigerian Exchange Limited and they qualify as liquid assets for liquidity ratio calculation for banks.”
FGN savings bonds are risk-free debt securities issued by the DMO on behalf of the federal government.
They are designed specifically for retail investors, and they allow individuals to earn guaranteed returns while lending money to the government for national development.
