Indicate evidence of volatility clustering in the NSE returns series. And the results of the GJR-GARCH (1,1) model shows the existence of leverage effects in the series. Finally, the parameters α0 and α1 are greater than 0, and β1 is positive. Thus, the GARCH (1,1) seems quite good for explaining the behavior of stock returns volatility in Nigeria.
