The Federal Government of Nigeria is eyeing a N500 billion green bond sale in 2026 to finance climate projects, as revealed by Minister of Environment Balarab Abba Lawal at the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week. This initiative seeks to secure alternative funding for environmental projects, reduce reliance on traditional debt, and attract investors keen on green and sustainable finance.
Nigeria aims to tap into the increasing global demand for climate-linked assets, following the success of previous green bond issuances that garnered strong investor interest. By leveraging green bonds, the government plans to address environmental challenges, improve air quality, expand access to clean energy, combat deforestation, and enhance climate infrastructure.
