NGThe Federal Government of Nigeria plans to issue a second bond valued at approximately N729 billion to electricity generation companies (GenCos) as part of the N4 trillion Presidential Power Sector Debt Reduction Programme. This follows the successful issuance of a N501 billion bond in January 2026, with both issuances forming the first phase of the program aimed at clearing verified legacy debts and improving liquidity in the power sector. The Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Plc (NBET) stated that the new bond will bolster investor confidence and support sustainable power generation. The program, approved by President Bola Tinubu, involves multiple debt instrument issuances through a special purpose vehicle, backed by the federal government's full faith and credit.
