Commercial Trust

We serve as trustees to bonds issued by the government. These Bonds are raised for a variety of reasons such as where governments seek to access the debt market to boost medium to long term development through infrastructural or real estate projects. Such transactions are secured by government revenues and backed by an Irrevocable Standing Payment Order (ISPO) with instructions for direct deduction from a State’s allocation from the federation Account. We are also positioned to act as Trustees on supranational bonds issued by two or more government or international institutions with the objective of promoting economic development for member countries.
