Of the 66 companies quoted on the market by June 23, 15 or 22.7% were valued averagely at above 30 times nominal value.

What comes across from the figures was that the company received 2 blows to the jugular in 2018: Sharp drops in Investment income and fair value gain. Investment income dropped by 10.8% to N4422.8m from N4965.2m while fair value on financial assets plunged by 79.7% to N6.173m from 2017's N30.387m.
