Traders excited as FG takes Saving Bond campaign to S/East

The federal government has urged Nigerians to take advantage of the Saving Bond provided by the Debt Management Office in order to contribute meaningfully to the development of the nation’s economy, as well as improve their individual well-being.

Director General, Debt Management Office, Abraham Nwankwo, made the call in Onitsha, the commercial city of Anambra State, at an advocacy workshop on the FGN Saving Bond with leaders of unions and associations in the South East region.

He explained that government was conscious of taking the investment opportunities to every Nigerian.

“Debt Management Office as a key development pillar of the Buhari-led administration, therefore, decided to carry the campaign to the grassroots to ensure the full participation of all the citizenry who had earlier been sidelined from the investment opportunities” he said.

According to him, the bond duly registered at the floor of the Nigeria Stock Exchange, was open to every individual irrespective of their income level, and would ensure the nation’s growth and development, as well as create profit for lenders through the capital market.

Responding, the Secretary, Onitsha Main Market, Nwabueze Egwuatu, and the Chairman, Power Tools and Allied Products Dealers Association, Bridge Head, Onitsha, Emmanuel Anagor, commended the initiative, calling for more enlightenment to enable more members benefit.
