ABUJA, April 1 (Reuters) - Nigerian stocks fell 2.4% to hit

cities to stop the spread of coronavirus entered second day.

level last seen in April 2012 as Dangote Cement DANGCEM.LG

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday ordered the
cessation of movement in Lagos and the capital Abuja for 14 days
in an attempt to curb the spread of the virus.
