ABUJA, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Nigeria central bank sold 34.4
billion naira worth of treasury bills on Wednesday at higher
rates to try to lure foreign investors, hours after it was
announced that the president told the bank to ban access to
dollars for food imports.
The bank auctioned the longer tenor one-year treasury bill
at 12% from 11.2% at its last sale. Demand for the auction stood
at 146.6 billion naira.
