This decline is primarily ascribed to selling pressure observed in major equities like FBNH, UBA ACCESSCORP, WAPCO, ZENITHBANK, GTCO, and other listed stocks.
FBNH is the largest loser during the day, followed by UBA and ACCESS Plc. Shareholders are also selling their interest in Lafarge WAPCO while Zenith and GTCO are also on the loser chart.
