Investors trading highs and lows in the stock market trimmed their interest in Nigerian Breweries Plc, in contrast to the Nigerian index’s positive performance.

The brewer company, however, faced sell-offs after its Monday rally and closed lower. According to data obtained from the local bourse, Nigerian Breweries’ share price fell to N76 on Friday as 8.735 million units valued at N664.059 million were traded by investors.
