A statement issued in Abuja by the DMO on Thursday said N90 billion worth of bonds were offered in three tenors of five, seven and 10 years.
It said: “Allotments were made to successful bidders at 14.39 per cent for the five-year, 14.60 per cent for the seven-year and 14.69 per cent for the 10-year bond which are consistent with the rates in the secondary market for the bonds offered at the auction.
