A rather dull day to end the week with some activity in NMH (357k shares) and MCBG (24k shares) driving proceedings while the rest of the market was very quiet.

Nigeria: ASI +0.10%, USD 44.7m

A much better day in Lagos with turnover amounting to an impressive $44.7m thanks to crosses in Seplat ($23.6m), GTB ($11.4m), NB ($2.2m) and Nestle ($2m).
