Nigeria: 'Dangote Refinery IPO Opens Ownership to Nigerian Investors'

The offer seeks to raise about $1.6 billion and could double the refinery’s capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day by 2029.

  • Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE launched a ₦2.15 trillion IPO on September 14, offering 4.1 billion shares at ₦525 each and scheduled to close October 13.
  • Aliko Dangote aims to democratize wealth by spreading public ownership across his businesses, allowing ordinary investors to participate in large African industrial projects while pursuing a broader \$25 billion investment program.
  • Renaissance Capital is developing Global Depositary Receipts for the Nairobi Securities Exchange to help Kenyan investors trade the refinery shares in shillings without complex cross-border account setup.
  • Bard Santner Investors is facilitating Zimbabwean participation in the US\$1.6 billion offering, managing applications and compliance requirements with a deadline of October 2 ahead of the October 13 close.
  • On Wednesday, Dangote marked groundbreaking for the 700,000-barrel-per-day Dangote East Africa Refinery in Lamu, Kenya, a separate project distinct from the Nigerian refinery currently conducting its IPO.
