An insightful analysis. It is encouraging to see the government being creative and turn its bills/debt into a capital market instrument. I'm curious: if it lacks the cash to settle the debts today, how does it plan to fulfill these bond obligations upon maturity.

The funny part of it is that Nigeria still cannot build the smallest power plant or transmission network entirely by herself.
