It said this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
According to the office, Nigeria’s debt management practice is in accordance with relevant legislations and regulations in compliance with international practices.
It said the country had, over the years, serviced its external and domestic debts promptly, which had made the federal government’s securities attractive to foreign and local investors.
It cited the recent successfully priced 2.2 billion dollars in Eurobonds in the international capital markets, which received a subscription of over nine billion dollars.
“Nigeria attracted a wide range of investors from multiple jurisdictions including the UK, North America, Europe, Asia, Middle East and participation from Nigerian investors.
“It is an expression of continued investor confidence in the country’s sound macro-economic policy framework and prudent fiscal and monetary management.
“The transaction attracted a peak order book of more than nine billion dollars. This underscores the strong support for the transaction across geography and investor class,” it said.
It said with respect to the investor class, demand came from a combination of fund managers, insurance and pension funds, hedge funds, banks and other financial institutions.
“In addition, one of the landmark achievements of the Eurobond is that it opened up opportunities for banks and other corporate entities in the Eurobond market,” it said.
The DMO said the increased investors’ interest in the FGN bonds, the Sukuk bonds, and other FGN securities also attest to the country’s strict adherence to best practices in debt management.
It assured that there were adequate provisions in the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and the annual budgets to meet the country’s debt service obligations when due.
It said through borrowing, Nigeria now had a robust domestic capital market, with many local and foreign investors showing interest.
