The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), on Wednesday, announced plans to issue N137.97 billion ($848.00 million)worth in treasury bills on June 4 with maturities ranging from three months to one year.

The bank said it would auction N22.97 billion worth in three-month treasury bills, N30 billion of six-month paper and N85 billion of the one-year debt note.

Auction results are expected the following day, the bank said in a statement.

Yields on Nigerian short-dated debt have progressively declined in the last two months due to rising demand for the debt notes by local pension and offshore investors.
