Eterna Plc trailed by 9.95 per cent to close at N22.10 per share.

On the other hand, Meyer Plc led the leaders’ table by 9.97 per cent to close at N6.29, Juli Plc followed by 9.52 per cent to close at 92k, while Tantalizers gained 4.76 per cent to close at 44k per share.

Also, Red Star Express Plc rose by 4.05 per cent to close at N3.85 and LASACO Assurance garnered N3.54 per cent to close at N2.63 per share.
