Lagos State listed a NGN 200 billion infrastructure bond on FMDQ in H1 2026 — one of the largest sub-national bond issuances in Nigerian history — to finance infrastructure development across the state including road, water and transit projects. Lagos is Nigeria’s economic capital and generates roughly 30% of Nigeria’s GDP.
