The CBN uses Treasury bills, which are instruments for short-term debt (maturity less than one year), to raise money from the general public on behalf of the federal government.
Additionally, TBs serve as a tool for the CBN to regulate the money supply within the economy.

In this time frame, the central bank plans to introduce Treasury Bills totaling N414.29 billion with a maturity period of 91 days, N43.74 billion with a 182-day tenor, and N1.18 trillion with a maturity period of 364 days.
An analysis of the programme details showed that the central bank intends to auction Treasury bills worth a total of N660.62 billion in March. This includes N32.73 billion of 91-day bills, N12.97 billion of 182-day bills, and N614.92 billion of 364-day bills.
