Third place was the ICT Industry, with a turnover of 237.680 million shares worth N3.628 billion in 5,280 deals.
Trading in top three equities namely, Wema Bank Plc, FBN Holdings Plc and Universal Insurance Plc, measured by volume accounted for 1.679 billion shares worth N20.838 billion in 4,922 deals.

Sunu Assurances also led the 38 other declined equities on losers’ table by 36.52 per cent to close at N7.30 per share.
Looking ahead, analysts at Cowry Asset Management Ltd., predicted bullish momentum at the equity market to persist in the coming week.
The analysts said this would be supported by anticipation of fourth quarter 2024 unaudited financial results and preparations for the dividend earning season.
They noted that positive sentiment is likely to prevail as stocks continue to reach new historical highs, bolstered by favourable market valuations and outlooks.
“Nonetheless, we advise investors to focus on fundamentally sound stocks to maximise returns amidst the ongoing rally,” the analysts said. (NAN)
