Nigeria: ASI -0.46%, USD 32.0m

A mammoth day in Lagos mostly thanks to a local-local cross in Seplat ($21m).

The most active stock was Unilever (-2.78%, N35.00) which dragged the consumers down by 26bps. The Banks ended the session down 49bps with activity led by GTB (unch, N24.80) and Zenith Bank (+14bps, N14.40).
