Nigeria’s Debt Management Office has listed a N47.3 billion green bond on the Nigerian Exchange and FMDQ, as the Federal Government looks to raise funds for projects linked to environmental protection and climate action.

The bond was listed on May 13, 2026 and will run until 2030. The DMO said it issued the bond on behalf of the Federal Government to support projects aimed at building a cleaner and more climate-ready economy.

In its statement, the agency said the bond reflects its commitment to “providing funds needed to finance green projects to support Nigeria’s commitment to achieving a low-carbon and climate-resilient society.”

The DMO said this is the third green bond issued under the sovereign programme. It added that listing the bond on both exchanges would make it easier for investors to trade it and improve price transparency in the market.

The office also thanked the financial institutions and advisers involved in the transaction and said it remains committed to deepening Nigeria’s bond market.
