DISCLAIMER
“In respect of any Notes issued with a specific use of proceeds, such as a Green Bond, there can be no assurance that
such use of proceeds will be suitable for the investment criteria of an investor”
The Final Terms relating to any specific Series of Notes may provide that it will be the Issuer’s intention to
apply the proceeds from an offer of those Notes specifically for projects and activities that promote climate-
friendly and other environmental purposes ("Green Projects"). Prospective investors should have regard
to the information set out in the relevant Final Terms regarding such use of proceeds and must determine
for themselves the relevance of such information for the purpose of any investment in such Notes together
with any other investigation such investor deems necessary. In particular, no assurance is given by the
Issuer that the use of such proceeds for any Green Projects will satisfy, whether in whole or in part, any
present or future investor expectations or requirements as regards any investment criteria or guidelines
with which such investor or its investments are required to comply, whether by any present or future
applicable law or regulations or by its own by-laws or other governing rules or investment portfolio
mandates, in particular with regard to any direct or indirect environmental, sustainability or social impact
of any projects or uses, the subject of or related to, any Green Projects. Furthermore, it should be noted that
there is currently no clearly defined definition (legal, regulatory or otherwise) of, nor market consensus as
to what constitutes, a “green” or “sustainable” or an equivalently-labelled project or as to what precise
attributes are required for a particular project to be defined as “green” or “sustainable” or such other
equivalent label nor can any assurance be given that such a clear definition or consensus will develop over
time. Accordingly, no assurance is or can be given to investors that any projects or uses the subject of, or
related to, any Green Projects will meet any or all investor expectations regarding such “green”,
“sustainable” or other equivalently-labelled performance objectives or that any adverse environmental,
social and/or other impacts will not occur during the implementation of any projects or uses the subject of,
or related to, any Green Projects.

No assurance or representation is given as to the suitability or reliability for any purpose whatsoever of
any external reviews (such as opinions, certifications, verifications or ratings) provided by any third party
(whether or not solicited by the Issuer) which may be made available in connection with the issue of any
Notes and in particular with any Green Projects to fulfil any environmental, sustainability, social and/or
other criteria. For the avoidance of doubt, any such external review is not, nor shall be deemed to be,
incorporated in and/or form part of this Programme Prospectus. Any such external review is not, nor
should be deemed to be, a recommendation by the Issuer or any other person to buy, sell or hold any such
Notes. Any such external review is only current as of the date that external review was initially issued.
Prospective investors must determine for themselves the relevance of any such external review and/or the
information contained therein and/or the provider of such external review for the purpose of any
investment in such Notes. Currently, the providers of such external reviews are not subject to any specific
regulatory or other regime or oversight.
In the event that any such Notes are listed or admitted to trading on any dedicated “green”,
“environmental”, “sustainable” or other equivalently-labelled segment of any stock exchange or securities
market (whether or not regulated), no representation or assurance is given by the Issuer or any other person
that such listing or admission satisfies, whether in whole or in part, any present or future investor
expectations or requirements as regards any investment criteria or guidelines with which such investor or
its investments are required to comply, whether by any present or future applicable law or regulations or
by its own by-laws or other governing rules or investment portfolio mandates, in particular with regard to
any direct or indirect environmental, sustainability or social impact of any projects or uses, the subject of
or related to, any Green Projects. Furthermore, it should be noted that the criteria for any such listings or
admission to trading may vary from one stock exchange or securities market to another. No representation
or assurance is given or made by the Issuer or any other person that any such listing or admission to trading
will be obtained in respect of any such Notes or, if obtained, that any such listing or admission to trading
will be maintained during the life of the Notes.

While it is the intention of the Issuer to apply the proceeds of any Notes so specified for Green Projects in,
or substantially in, the manner described in the relevant Final Terms, there can be no assurance that the
relevant project(s) or use(s) the subject of, or related to, any Green Projects will be capable of being
implemented in or substantially in such manner and/or accordance with any timing schedule and that
accordingly such proceeds will be totally or partially disbursed for such Green Projects; nor can there be
any assurance that such Green Projects will be completed within any specified period or at all or with the
results or outcome (whether or not related to the environment) as originally expected or anticipated by the
Issuer. Any such event or failure by the Issuer will not constitute an Event of Default under the Notes.

Any such event or failure to apply the proceeds of any issue of Notes for any Green Projects as aforesaid
and/or withdrawal of any such external review or any such external review attesting that the Issuer is not
complying in whole or in part with any matters for which such external review is providing and/or any
such Notes no longer being listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange or securities market as
aforesaid may have a material adverse effect on the value of such Notes and also potentially the value of
any other Notes which are intended to finance Green Projects and/or result in adverse consequences for
certain investors with portfolio mandates to invest in securities to be used for a particular purpose.”

Programme Description

Renewable Energy Micro-Utilities (REMU) is an initiative of the


Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing to provide access to
electricity to 45 unserved communities across the country. REMU
will employ mini grids with distributed loads of between 33-50KW
per community

Project Name: Pilot: REMU

Project Description

A pilot REMU project will be implemented in one (1) community at


an estimated cost of N150 million. Development Finance Institutions
(DFIs) operating in the selected regions will be responsible for project
implementation through private contractors selected by the DFIs.

Lead MDA: Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing

Partner MDAs: Federal Ministry of Finance and Federal Ministry of Environment

2017 Budget Code: FMOWP44840550

Theme: Mitigation

Type: Renewable Energy

Economic Profile – (Economic Rate of Return: 1.15%; Jobs Created: 667; Population Impacted: 6,667)

The REMU project is estimated to create 667 jobs both directly and indirectly. These jobs will be in the area
of installation, maintenance and replacement of panels. The improved power supply in the three pilot
communities under this REMU project is expected to lead artisanal migration into those communities and
better standard of living and quality of life.

The entire REMU programme is estimated to impact 300,000 people in 45 communities all across the
country.

Environmental Profile – (CO2/Year: 14,083)

Citizens in rural areas mostly use kerosene lanterns and wax candles as the source of light at night. Solar
Energy has the potential to replace GHG emitting sources with a clean and safe source of energy. Solar
Energy technologies represent one of the least carbon-intensive means of electricity generation as it
produces no emissions during the power generation process. Solar power reduces reliance on fossil fuels
such as oil, coal and natural gas. When fossil fuels are used to create electricity, they produce harmful gas
emissions that affect the safety of air, water and soil.

Safeguard Profile – (Gender Impact: 29; Youth Impact: 11)

11
Use of Proceeds

Safeguard assessments of the REMU project take account of the World Bank performance standards in
interrogating the social impacts of the project. The following World Bank performance standards would be
triggered by this assessment:

Performance Standard 1 – Assessment and management of environmental and social risks and
impacts;

Performance Standard 2 – Labour and working conditions

Performance Standard 3 – Resource efficiency and pollution prevention;

Performance Standard 4 – Community health, safety and security;

Performance Standard 5 – Land acquisition and voluntary resettlement;

Performance Standard 7 – Indigenous peoples; and

Performance Standard 8 – cultural heritage.

Programme Name: Energising Education Programme

Programme Description

Energising Education (“EE”) is a rural electrification initiative to


develop off-grid independent power plant (“IPP”) projects for the
generation and provision of adequate power supply to thirty seven
(37) federal universities and seven (7) university teaching hospitals
across the country. The projects will strengthen the distribution
system within the universities and provide street lighting for campus
security; and a training centre at each federal university, focused on
renewable energy training.

Project Name: Pilot: Energising Energy


Programme

Project Description

Phase 1 Project: Seven (7) or possibly ten (10)) universities out of the
37 federal universities will be developed in 2017. The estimated cost
of the project is N20 billion.
The allocation under the 2017 National Budget for the EE
Programme will cover the Phase 1 Projects only. The allocation in the
FY17 Budget for the program is N8.55 billion.

Lead MDA: Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing

Theme: Mitigation

Type: Renewable Energy

Economic Profile – (Economic Rate of Return: 14.08%; Jobs Created: 5,714; Population Impacted:
190,473)

For the entire programme, it is estimated that 1.11 million individuals across the universities and 7 teaching
hospitals as well as 40,000 households. This programme is also expected to create several job opportunities,
with job distribution coming from initial construction, operation and maintenance activities. The
construction phase, which will be the first year of the project, is expected to create 5,714 jobs. After that,
1,904 jobs are expected to be created in the operation and maintenance period.

Environmental Profile – (CO2/Year: 46,427)

Energy demand assessments were carried out in a total of 59 institutions comprising forty (40) university
main campuses, nine (9) University City campuses and ten (10) university teaching hospitals, as part of the
EE programme. The 59 institutions between them had a total of 1,105 diesel generators. The ultimate

13
Use of Proceeds

objective of this project is the ultimate displacement of these generators, thereby significantly reducing the
amount of CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the attendant issue of diesel purchase and storage is reduced as
some of the diesel storage facilities do not meet required standards and waste fuel disposal is often carried
out in environmentally unfriendly ways. Of the 37 solar IPPs to be built under the Programme, 28 will
utilize solar technology. A minimum of 90 per cent. of the Phase 1 projects will utilise solar technology,
which is a sustainable, clean and efficient means of power generation. The optimum utilisation of this
technology mitigates carbon emissions and thus climate change.

Safeguard Profile – (Gender Impact: 380; Youth Impact: 190)

Both women and young adults will benefits under this Programme, being either students or staff of the
universities, doctors/nurses, or patients of the university teaching hospitals. The Programme also includes
the installation and operation of a training centre for final year electrical engineering students, who will
gain hands on practical experience in the operation and maintenance of the university IPPs. Both women
and young adults will benefit under this Programme, being either students or staff of the universities,

Programme Name: Afforestation Programme

Programme Description

Afforestation is the establishment of a forest or stand of trees in an


area where there was no previous tree cover. Reforestation is the
establishment of forest cover either naturally (by natural seeding,
coppice or root suckers) or artificially (by direct seeding or planting).
Forestation is the establishment of forest growth on areas that either
had forest or lacked it. Many governments and non-governmental
organisations directly engage in afforestation programmes to create
forests, increase carbon capture and carbon sequestration and help
to anthropogenically improve biodiversity.

Project Name: MoE Afforestation Programme

Project Description

The Afforestation programme of the Federal Ministry of


Environment is expected to meet certain criteria such as strategic
approach, coverage and impact of the programme, contribution to
ecosystem and expansion/exit options. The strategic approach
adopted in involves actively engaging members of the communities
in the planting, maintenance, protection of forest land and
sustainability of the projects over time. The estimated cost of the
project is N1.99 billion, which has been fully captured in the FY-17
National Budget.

Theme: Adaption

Type: Sustainable Forest Management

Economic Profile – (Economic Rate of Return: 4.44%; Jobs Created: 3,990; Population Impacted:
3,770,400)

The Afforestation Programme besides aiming to achieve economic and climate benefits, seeks to positively
impact an estimated 3.77 million citizens in communities across 26 states where the four departments of
the MoE will implement their projects. The positive impact will include, but not limited to provision of
shelter, provision of food, skill development in agriculture, processing of raw materials as well as the
empowerment of women and youth within the communities.

Environmental Profile – (CO2/Year: 12,969)

15
Use of Proceeds

Afforestation projects have significant and widespread benefits on the environment as they involve the
planting of trees. At the source of every ecosystem are trees which serve as homes, places of protection for
many animal species and even humans. Through photosynthesis, trees play a prominent role in the fight
against the greenhouse effect causing negative climate change around the world. The afforestation
programme aims to reverse the effects of desertification and soil erosion in Nigeria, which have turned
farmlands into dry wastelands over the years.

Safeguard Profile – (Gender Impact: 1,700; Youth Impact: 540)

Community engagement in the workforce will result in employment and wealth creation. Wealth
generated through labour engagements and skills acquisition would directly impact the quality of life of
the indigenous people. Female empowerment is important as most rural women are engaged in
agriculture. Community engagement in land acquisition, relocation, planting and maintenance will ensure
sustainability.
