Dangote Refinery launches Africa's largest IPO to fund expansion

Dangote Refinery IPO Aliko Dangote Nigerian Exchange African capital markets oil refinery expansion

Aliko Dangote has launched the initial public offering (IPO) of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals, an event described as Africa’s largest-ever share sale. The offering consists of 4.1 billion ordinary shares priced at N525 each, with a minimum subscription of 10 shares. The IPO, which opened on September 14, 2026, is expected to raise approximately N2.15 trillion ($1.6 billion), though total proceeds could reach $2.1 billion if the company exercises its over-allotment option.

The proceeds are intended to fund a major expansion of the refinery, which currently processes 700,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The company aims to double this capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day by 2029. To support increased maritime logistics for this expansion, the Dangote Group is also looking to China to acquire new vessels to increase annual vessel movements from 300 to 1,800.

Designed as a ‘people’s IPO,’ the offering aims to democratize wealth creation by allowing retail investors to participate alongside large institutions. While retail investors may face a higher effective valuation compared to institutional investors from previous private placements, the minimum entry point remains low at approximately $4. The subscription period is scheduled to close on October 13, 2026, with shares expected to begin trading on the Nigerian Exchange in late November.
