In this special episode of The Evening Dew, we go deep into Nigeria’s fixed income market with Tosin Oladapo — a seasoned fixed income trader with years of experience across treasury desks.

Together, we unpack:

• What the Nigerian fixed income market really is (and why it matters)
• How government deficits shape bond issuance
• The impact of inflation rebasing and rising interest rates
• Domestic vs. Eurobond borrowing (and why Nigeria went international)
• What the Rivers State crisis could mean for oil revenues and debt servicing
• And how traders actually think when markets get messy

If you’ve ever wondered how countries fund their budgets, how interest rates are really set, or why inflation could eat your investment alive — this episode is for you.

Whether you’re an investor, policy nerd, or just curious about how money moves, you’ll leave this episode smarter.

Listen to demystify the market.
