Penny Stock Champion Breweries came second with a 134% return while PZ Cussons, Guinness, and Fidelity Bank came third, fourth, fifth, and sixth respectively.

A total of 18 billion ordinary shares of BUA Foods were listed at N40.00 per share under the Consumer Goods sector of NGX, with the trading symbol, BUAFOODS at the beginning of the year.  

The listing of the shares added N720,000,000,000 to the market capitalization of NGX, further boosting liquidity in the Nigerian capital market and providing opportunities for wealth creation.
