The FGN Savings Bond is safe and backed by the full faith and credit of the Federal Government of Nigeria, with quarterly coupon payments to bondholders. An interested investor needs to approach any of the accredited brokers and require only the sum of N5, 000 to subscribe with additions in multiple of N1, 000 subject to a maximum amount of N50milliom\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n<p>However, stock broker in a separate meeting with the DMO team to review activities on the series 1 saving bond, called for extension of submission date by one additional day. Because according to them the day of submission after the 5 days allowed is too short in other to avoid rushing. While they urged DMO to address some of the initial challenges, they also suggested an increase on the coupon to attract more investors.<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>Commenting on the listing, Oscar Onyema, DG NSE, said \u201cwe are pleased to list the series 1 of this innovative investment offering that caters to the retail segment of the Nigerian Capital Market.
