Dangote Cement, UPC REIT, BUA Cement top Ripples Nigeria stock watchlist
Throughout last week, the Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE) recorded a bullish session as both the All Share Index (ASI) and the market capitalisation appreciated each day from Monday to Friday. The feat is a cheering one for investors considering that it came early enough in the year even though what matters most is how to sustain the momentum in the market in the days ahead.
We have selected a group of stocks you should watch out for this week on the basis of how the market fared last week.
