How to Make Extra Money Every 3 Months in Nigeria Using Stocks
Learn how students and salary earners in Nigeria can earn passive income every 3 months through PPP investments like NIDF on the NGX. Start with a small capital and earn quarterly dividends.
Let me ask you a simple question
That Lekki Toll Gate you pass every day…
The train from Lagos to Ibadan…
The ships entering Lekki Deep Sea Port…
Have you ever asked yourself:
“Who is collecting this money?”
It’s not only the government.
Investors are collecting money too.
And the good news is you don’t need to be rich to join them.
Let me explain it like I’m talking to a student or a salary earner.
What is PPP? (Very Simple Meaning)
PPP means Public–Private Partnership.
In plain English 👇
👉 Government and private companies work together to build big projects.
How it works:
-
The government provides land, approval, and rules
-
Private companies bring money and expertise
-
They build things like:
-
Roads
-
Railways
-
Power plants
-
Ports
-
-
People use them and pay fees or tolls
-
Money comes in every day
-
Investors earn from it
Examples you already know:
-
Lekki Toll Gate → PPP
-
Lagos–Ibadan Railway → PPP
-
Lekki Deep Sea Port → PPP
-
Azura Power Plant → PPP
These projects don’t stop working.
So the money doesn’t stop coming.

How Can Ordinary Nigerians Benefit?
You may think:
“This thing is for billionaires.”
No.
There is something called Infrastructure Funds.
These funds lend money to PPP projects and share profits with investors.
One popular example is 👇
NIDF – Nigeria Infrastructure Debt Fund
-
Managed by Chapel Hill Denham
-
Invests in roads, power plants, ports, and railways
-
These projects pay back with interest
-
The fund then pays investors every 3 months
👉 This means quarterly income
👉 Like rent, but without tenant stress
Does NIDF Really Pay?
Yes. And consistently.
From 2020 till now, NIDF has never missed a dividend.
Dividend history (per unit):
-
2020: ₦2.70 – ₦3.57
-
2021: ₦1.70 – ₦3.44
-
2022: ₦3.00 – ₦3.75
-
2023: ₦4.00 – ₦4.75
-
2024: Up to ₦5.50
-
2025: ₦5.43 and ₦5.20 so far
Just recently, they paid ₦4.25 for Q3.
Another dividend is expected in December / January.
📌 NIDF pays FOUR times every year:
-
January
-
April
-
July
-
October
That’s extra money every 3 months.
Why Students & Salary Earners Like This
✔ You don’t need millions
✔ You can start small (₦5,000 or ₦10,000)
✔ No daily trading stress
✔ No landlord chasing tenant
✔ SEC-regulated (not a scam app)
✔ Passive income while you focus on school or work
Even when inflation hit 22%, NIDF still paid dividends.
