New Global Notes Make It Easier To Invest In Nigerian Government Bonds

New Global Notes Make It Easier to Invest in Nigerian Government Bonds

In a major move to boost foreign investment, Bank of New York Mellon and Standard Bank have introduced Global Depositary Notes (GDNs) backed by Nigeria’s local-currency government bonds.This new financial product makes it easier for international investors to tap into Nigeria’s high-yield debt market—without dealing with the complexities of local market processes.According to a recent report by Bloomberg, the initiative simplifies access to Nigerian naira-denominated sovereign bonds, offering global investors a new and secure channel to invest in Africa’s largest economy.What Are GDNs?GDNs are investment notes that mirror the returns of Nigeria’s government bonds issued in naira. These notes are eligible for settlement through Euroclear and Clearstream, two of the world’s leading international securities clearing systems. This means global investors can now buy Nigerian bonds just like they would any other global financial instrument.Why the Buzz Around Nigerian Bonds?Nigeria is currently offering some of the highest returns in global emerging markets. For instance, as of June 4:182-day Treasury Bills were yielding 18.5%The benchmark 2033 sovereign bond was yielding 19.33%These attractive rates are driven by Nigeria’s ongoing efforts to tame inflation and attract more foreign capital.A Gateway to African OpportunitiesChris Kearns, Global Head of Depositary Receipts at BNY Mellon, described the GDNs as a "gateway to Africa’s underutilised investment landscape."“This new product supports capital market development and helps unlock investment potential across Africa,” Kearns said.Sola Adegbesan of Standard Bank added that the GDNs were created to give global investors easy and safe access to Nigerian markets. “This offers a compelling opportunity to invest in one of Africa’s most dynamic economies,” he noted.Nigeria’s Economic Reforms Make the Market More AttractiveThis financial innovation aligns with broader reforms by President Bola Tinubu’s administration aimed at rebuilding investor confidence. Reforms include:Fuel subsidy removalNew forex policiesTighter monetary controlsThese policies have contributed to increased foreign reserves, a more stable naira, and moderating inflation.In May, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded Nigeria’s long-term foreign currency debt rating from Caa1 to B3, citing better fiscal management and stronger external liquidity.What This Means for the FutureWith this development, Nigeria could attract a new wave of global investors looking for high returns in frontier markets. It also marks a shift in how African countries raise capital — moving beyond traditional loans and tapping into global financial markets.Experts believe the success of this GDN initiative could inspire similar moves in other African economies, further integrating the continent with global capital flows.For Nigeria, this is more than a financial product — it’s a strategic move to broaden its investor base, deepen market liquidity, and reduce reliance on foreign aid and loans.As Nigeria positions itself as a rising investment destination, these GDNs may be the key that opens new doors.

In a bold operation aimed at tackling crime, the Niger State Police Command has arrested 20 suspected criminals during a late-night raid in Suleja, a town that borders the Federal Capital Territory and serves as a key transit hub for residents traveling between Abuja and Kaduna. The raid took place on Saturday night, June 14, through the early hours of Sunday, June 15, and was led by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Maje Division along with the Suleja Area Command’s patrol teams. According to the police spokesperson, Wasiu Abiodun, the operation focused on several identified blackspots and hideouts notorious for criminal activity. The goal, he explained, was to reduce the growing threat of drug abuse and street crime in the Suleja area. What the Police FoundThe suspects were caught with:3 machetes134 wraps of substances suspected to be cannabis24 sachets of tramadol264 other illegal drugs, including bottles of codeine2 Bajaj motorcycles Many of the arrested individuals could not provide any valid explanation for their presence at these locations during the operation.Identities of the SuspectsThe police released the names and ages of the suspects, who are mostly young men aged between 18 and 34.

Court Stops Gtbank From Taking Over Mko Abiola’s Son’s Ikoyi Mansion

Court Stops GTBank from Taking Over MKO Abiola’s Son’s Ikoyi Mansion

The Court of Appeal in Lagos has delivered a major ruling in favour of Alhaji Agboola Abiola, son of the late business icon and politician Chief M.K.O. Abiola, by reversing a previous judgment that allowed GTBank to seize his sprawling 44-room mansion in Ikoyi, Lagos, reportedly worth ₦30 billion. The legal battle, which has dragged on for over a decade, centered on a disputed mortgage agreement that the bank used to justify its attempt to foreclose on the property. Why the Appeal Court Ruled Against GTBankIn a unanimous decision delivered by Justice Paul Aimee Bassi, alongside Justices Polycarp Kwahar and Abdulaziz Anka, the Court of Appeal ruled that the mortgage deed used by the bank was flawed and lacked the authenticity needed to support foreclosure. One of the key issues was the execution page of the mortgage document. Agboola Abiola claimed his signature had been fraudulently copied from another document and inserted into the deed without his consent. The pagination also raised eyebrows—while the main pages were numbered “2 of 9” to “9 of 9,” the signature page was marked “11 of 17,” strongly suggesting it came from a different agreement altogether. Two Loans, One Big ProblemThe case also highlighted confusion over two different loans—one for ₦508 million and another for ₦1 billion. The appellants argued that GTBank merged both loans without their consent and then tried to enforce the mortgage terms based on questionable documentation. While some police investigations suggested arbitration, others dismissed the forgery claims. However, the Court of Appeal said these reports did not conclusively clear up doubts surrounding the authenticity of the document. “Lower Court Got It Wrong” – Appeal CourtJustice Bassi was critical of the earlier ruling by the Federal High Court in 2014, which he said failed to address the serious issues of fraud and forgery. According to him:“The lower court erred by ruling on a document whose authenticity was seriously in question. This appeal succeeds.” He added that no party should have their rights determined based on a document that’s still under suspicion.The Final Verdict With this ruling, the Federal High Court’s decision from June 2014 has been set aside, and GTBank can no longer proceed with foreclosing on the Ikoyi mansion. Each party was ordered to bear its own legal costs. This victory marks a major legal win for Agboola Abiola and underscores the importance of due diligence in executing and relying on legal documents—especially in high-stake property and loan disputes.

MTN Trains Lagos Students on Ethical Use of AI

In a move to promote responsible technology use, MTN Nigeria has trained students of St. Augustine College of Education, Akoka, Lagos, on how to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethically and effectively.The training was part of the 2025 Y’ello Connect initiative, MTN’s ongoing corporate social responsibility (CSR) program aimed at improving digital literacy across communities. This year’s theme, “Connecting at the Roots,” focuses on going back to the basics and helping people understand the digital world from the ground up.Speaking at the event, MTN’s Chief Marketing Officer, Onyinye Ikenya-Emeka, said the training was designed to help students understand how to use AI in a productive and ethical way, especially as the technology becomes more embedded in everyday life.“We’re seeing more students turning in plagiarised assignments and relying entirely on AI. But we’re here to say AI can be used meaningfully—if you use it responsibly, it can help you grow your knowledge and improve your work,” she said.Learning from the ExpertsThe session featured insights from top tech professionals:Ugochi Agoreyo, Strategic Partner Development Manager, Google Search, encouraged the students to use AI as a learning aid, not a shortcut.“AI can help you learn better and faster. But it must be used ethically. Understand the tech, and let it guide your learning, not do all the work for you,” she said.Ayobamidele Oke, a Solution Architect from Huawei, gave practical tips on how to give effective prompts when using AI tools like ChatGPT.“AI works best when you’re clear and descriptive. Always assign it a role—be specific about what you want it to do,” he advised.More Than Just Words — MTN Gives BackBeyond the training, MTN also donated essential tech equipment to the school, including:2 Laptops10 Desktops and Monitors10 Mifi Devices5G RouterAcer Projector and ScreenThe donation is aimed at improving the school’s digital infrastructure and helping both students and teachers embrace 21st-century learning tools.A Step Toward the FutureRev. Fr. (Dr) Vincent Olofinkua, Provost of St. Augustine College of Education, expressed deep appreciation to MTN, noting that the training and donations are “investments in minds, not just machines.”“AI is the future, and today’s session is preparing our students to be part of that future—not just as users, but as creators and leaders,” he said.MTN’s Ongoing MissionMTN’s Y’ello Connect has been active in 19 countries for the past 18 years, aiming to bridge the digital divide through outreach in schools, communities, and other local settings.With initiatives like this, MTN continues to show that it's not just about connectivity—it’s about empowering the next generation with the right knowledge, tools, and mindset to thrive in a digital world.
