In spite of the poor performance of most other stocks, Oando stocks made a third day topmost price appreciation, probably due to the Monday news of the company’s 30 percent equity in a lucrative Akepo oil field and today’s report on the exchange floor, of Oando’s acquisition of a 15 percent stake in ‘Agip’s 2 deep oil block’, to become the first indigenous company to go into deep off shore oil production.
