Background of the Study
Government bonds are debt securities issued by governments to finance public projects and manage national debt. In Nigeria, federal government bonds serve as low-risk investment vehicles, attracting institutional and retail investors seeking stable returns (Adebayo & Ogunleye, 2024).
The Federal Government of Nigeria issues bonds through platforms such as the Debt Management Office (DMO), offering opportunities for portfolio diversification. However, challenges such as inflation, fluctuating interest rates, and liquidity concerns affect their attractiveness (Onyeka, 2023). This study evaluates government bonds as investment vehicles, focusing on their performance and appeal in the Nigerian market.
Statement of the Problem
While government bonds are considered safe investments, factors such as rising inflation, inconsistent monetary policies, and limited investor education hinder their adoption in Nigeria. These challenges reduce their effectiveness as investment vehicles and impact their contribution to national economic development (Chinonso, 2023).
This study examines the role of government bonds in Nigeria’s investment landscape, assessing their benefits, limitations, and performance.
