Yesterday’s market trading value increased by 84.7%, as shares worth N95.01 billion were traded, up from N10.31 billion the day before.

This huge growth demonstrates the high level of interest in and investor confidence in the Nigerian stock market.

Another key element fueling the stock market’s rise is the desire of local investors to protect their money from rising inflation.
