Section 18: Appropriation of revenue for payment of interest.

So long as any interest is payable under this Act in respect of any stock or securities, the Minister shall, in each half-year ending with the date on which the interest on such stock or securities falls due, appropriate out of the general revenue and assets of Nigeria a sum sufficient to meet all interest payable on that date and shall authorise the Central Bank to pay such interest out of the sum so appropriated.
