In view of this, when you buy a treasury bill, you are lending the government money for a short while. At the end of the agreed period, which is called the maturity date, you get your money back with interest.
The longer the maturity date, the better the return on investment. T-Bills are one of the safest ways to invest your money because they are backed by the government.
How
do treasury bills work? Treasury bills have a face value. This face value is
the actual amount that the Treasury bill is worth. However, treasury bills are
usually sold for less than the face value. For example, if you buy a treasury
bill for ten thousand Naira, you may pay just nine thousand eight hundred naira
for it. When the maturity date of the Treasury bill comes, you will receive
that total face value of ten thousand Naira. This means that you made two
hundred Naira from your Treasury bill investment.
If
you are interested in investing in treasury bills here’s how to go about it.
Treasury bills can be bought through your bank – the process is simple. Get in touch
with your bank and you will be put through. You can buy treasury bills for as
low as N1, 000 and in multiples of N1, 000 after that.
You
can invest your T-Bills for 91 days, 182 days or 364 days. This means for
example that, if you invest for 91 days, your investment will mature after
three months. If you invest for 182 days, your investment will mature after six
months and so on.
Apart
from being a safe way to invest, treasury bills have many other benefits:
• Number one, you earn interest. This
interest can be paid to you upfront.
• Treasury bills are a good source of
steady income. They are affordable and almost anyone can invest in them.
• Treasury bills can easily be converted
to cash. This means that you can easily sell your treasury bills to someone
else.
• They can also be used as a collateral
for bank borrowing
So
when thinking about ways to of investing your money, you may want to consider
investing in treasury bills. It’s an easy way to get the money you already have
to earn more for you.

Lol. Govt investment. What if you invest a large amount and they refuse to pay u. Nigerian Govt does'nt evn obey court orders. It can b really unreliable, except for small amount of money Wich you can forfeit 2 d Govt, mayb 'cos u r patriotic ( dat is if they r not just embezzling the money and not paying u back), plenty problems with dis country.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this information. For the benefit of those who are in doubt, I've been into treasury bills for sometime now. Your money is safe even if your bank goes bankrupt, it does not affect your money because it is backed by the CBN. God bless you Linda.
ReplyDelete@Sliliky, please how did your parents do it? How much did they invest that makes you and your siblings to be living like king. I have some money to invest and I will need your further advise. Please reach me at assanig@yahoo.com and I will appreciate. Government most at times renege on their contracts with individuals. NNPC is a government establishment that is supposed to make contributions in funding oil and gas projects with their JV partners but they don't contribute their own percentage. Moreover you don't have insult the anonymous because that was his own experience.
ReplyDeleteI have invested in it with 1m,they paid me 53k after 3 months.i think it is good for idle money
ReplyDeleteLinda, this is quite enlightening.I am really blessed. Pls lets have more of this kind, not just gossips.
ReplyDeleteonly 44 comments for an article this rich after how many days. Gues most ppl didnt even read this. Little wonder Linda spends more time on news that will fetch her comments. But pls dont stop. One educative article a day will keep ur blog healthy. but one question pls, which bank is collecting as low as 1k for T.Bills, cos i tried to buy at my bank last year bt was told the minimum is 1m plus you can only buy at the beginning of the year.
ReplyDeleteYou guys do realize this post was paid for by FSDH Merchant Bank right? Yep, 50k. Not because the blogger's got a change of heart or strategy. Look forward to more eggplants/manhoods, Kardashians (correct spelling suggested by my phone!) and the lot. It works for her so ain't no change coming :)
