Nigeria’s stock market has risen 3.20 percent in 2025, but the market would have shown more positives if not for the performance of some laggards this year.
Specifically, insurance and oil & gas stocks have remained under pressure so far, leading the league of major draggers this year on the Nigerian Bourse.
Trading data as at March 13 showed 10 major laggards at the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX). They are: Sunu Assurances, Eunisell Interlinked, Learn Africa, Veritas Kapital, Oando, Julius Berger, MRS, Conoil, Academy Press and Aradel.
