Cocoa-producing Osun State plans to issue Nigeria’s first sukuk bond, starting with n10 billion ($62 million), before the end of July, a banking source close to the deal told Reuters on Tuesday.
The planned 7-year paper would be the first sukuk bond to be issued in Africa’s second-biggest economy and is part of a N60 billion debt raising programme by Osun State, which started last year, the banking source told Reuters.
