The Nigeria Stock Exchange All-Share Index gained 26basis points at the end of today trading on the floor of the exchange.

First Bank however dropped 0.9 per cent as yesterday’s recovery appears to have spurred selling sentiments, closing bids and offers were fairly matched at the close of the session
