On Oct. 8, 2026 the World Bank disclosed in its October 2026 Africa Economic Update that Nigeria has about $6.4 billion of sovereign Eurobond principal scheduled to mature between 2024 and 2030, a concentrated repayment exposure that ranks joint third in sub‑Saharan Africa.
The desk brief
On Oct. 8, 2026 the World Bank disclosed in its October 2026 Africa Economic Update that Nigeria has about $6.4 billion of sovereign Eurobond principal scheduled to mature between 2024 and 2030, a concentrated repayment exposure that ranks joint third in sub‑Saharan Africa.
A concentrated $6.4bn principal wall raises refinancing risk: if Nigeria rolls maturing bonds it may lock in materially higher coupons (post‑2022 repricing), increasing future external debt service. Pressure will be strongest in the Eurobond ‘belly’ where maturities cluster, and could amplify FX reserve needs if repayment requires hard‑currency resources rather than market refinancing.
Monitor 2027 peak concentration (reported $6.6bn due in 2027) and any Nigerian liability‑management announcements or Eurobond re‑issuances.
