Outlook

The Nigerian bourse ended the week cumulatively bullish against all odds. This impressive result was triggered by significant buying pressure in notable stocks like UNILEVER, PZ, and WAPIC Insurance.  Nairametrics also took note of impressive gains recorded in some tier-2 bank stocks like FCMB, UNITY BANK.

However, Nairametrics recommends you seek the advice of a registered stockbroker when choosing stocks to buy.
