Nigeria,
Africa’s biggest economy, issues sovereign bonds each month to help
fund its budget deficit, support the local debt market and maintain a
benchmark for companies to follow. 
It has a
series of debt issues lined up this year, including a 100 billion naira
debut domestic sukuk which it is marketing to fund road projects and a
20 billion naira “green bond”.
