Nigeria’s bonds have seen a surge in the global market as Bola Tinubu, the ruling-party candidate for Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election, takes an early lead.

Tinubu has been praised by many for his economic policies and ability to attract foreign investment into Nigeria. He is also known for his commitment to developing infrastructure projects throughout the country which could further stimulate economic growth if implemented properly.
