Nigerian stocks rose to their highest level in more than three months on Friday, hours before a presidential election gets under way. The main share index rose 0.81 percent to close at 32,715 points, lifted by gains for oil stocks which soared 4.26 percent. Investors have tentatively started to pick up shares to position for a post-election rally, assuming that the election will pass without violence or other problems, which could help lift the index to 35,000 points this year.
