World Bank: Nigeria faces $6.4bn sovereign Eurobond principal due 2024–2030

On 8 October 2026 the World Bank reported that Nigeria faces about $6.4 billion of sovereign Eurobond principal maturing between 2024 and 2030, a concentration the Bank flagged as raising near-term rollover and refinancing pressures for the country.

A concentrated principal profile of $6.4bn across 2024–2030 increases rollover risk: if Nigeria must refinance rather than repay, it may face higher coupon costs and tighter fiscal space. That dependence on market access links sovereign spreads and term premia to official reserve positions and external financing options; outcomes depend on actual refinancing operations and market conditions at each maturity.
