Oga that doesn't translate to real investments that create jobs. These see just portfolio investors that bet on inflationary pressures going up to push yield on T-bills. Stop deceiving people.
Is this thread about job creation? Some of you wouldn't mind not to make sense in doing the opposition

Don't be smart here. Making returns on fixed income is good but this is akin to betting against your economy and currency. Because Asia get devalued and as inflation rises, yields on fixed income increases.

Seems UBA has a better rate. GTB gave a rate of 13.5% for 91 days the last time I checked.
NaijaHelper1:
The amount you're considering is lower than 50 million which is the lowest amount you need to buy directly from the FG. Even that window has closed too. Your other option is to buy from the banks in what is called the secondary market. So the banks because they have alot of money, buy from the primary market, then sell to people who can't meet that threshold of 50m through the secondary market.
The tenure (that's the time your principal remains with them) varies and is set by the banks. As of last week, UBA was offering 16.59% for 365 days. It changes everyday and is published daily so you'll need to get into the Bank to find out the day's rate. Assuming you want to purchase with that amount for the 365 days, you get N1,161,300. Paid upfront then your principal will be returned when the tenure expires. So that's for you to decide if it's enough.

when does the primary market open

A friend just locked in 200 million face value on a one year tenure at 16.59% from UBA. That's a cool 32 million quid received immediately and which he didn't need to put in extra work for and with zero risk. It's a no brainer. Banks too are making it easy because their fixed deposit rate is coming in at 14%. No reasonable person will give the bank money for fixed deposit at 14% when the Baba being FG is giving you 16.59%>. What's more? If you're buying from the TB primary market, that's even more, coming in at 17.59%. and it's paid upfront not like Fixed deposit that pays upon maturity. CBN is beating banks at their own game now.
Individual can't buy from CBN but licensed financial insulations

If the economy of Nigeria don't look promising, do you think people will be buying the treasury bill?

People only invest in this shii because of the instant profiting and the assumption that your funds are safe.
When govt wants to start forcefully repaying our loans, these investments will be the first to suffer
Re: Nigerian Treasury Bills See High Demand As Rates Fall by Efefx(m): 10:37am On Jul 31

You borrow federal government money through investing in Treasury Bills, Federal Government Bonds and and Federal Government Saving Bond. You have to open a brokerage account with a licensed broker that offers it.

Re: Nigerian Treasury Bills See High Demand As Rates Fall by LibertyRep: 12:11pm On Jul 31
You don't even have to visit the banking hall, just send them a mail at the branch where your account is domiciled.

They'd respond with the rate for that particular day, then you can give them the instructions to act on.
