The central bank plans to offer 26.14 billion naira in three-month paper, N11 billion in six-month bill and N80.03 billion in one-year note, Reuters reports. Results of the auction will be announced next day.

The bank issues treasury bills twice a month to help the government to finance its budget deficit, curb money supply growth and provide an avenue for lenders to manage liquidity.
