Dangote Refinery to launch N2.15 trillion IPO in September
Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE is launching a landmark Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX), scheduled to run from September 14 to October 13, 2026. The company is offering 4.1 billion ordinary shares at a fixed price of N525 each, aiming to raise approximately N2.15 trillion. This transaction is noted as one of the largest equity offerings on the African continent.
Aliko Dangote, President of Dangote Industries Limited, stated that the IPO is designed to be inclusive, with retail and small-scale investors receiving priority in the share allocation process. The minimum subscription is set at 10 shares, or N5,250. Dangote also projected that the share price could eventually reach N10,000, though this remains a projection.
To facilitate the offering, 32 authorized channels have been approved, including 19 banks—such as Zenith Bank, FirstBank, and Access Bank—as well as various fintech platforms and mobile money operators. The proceeds from the sale are intended to fund the refinery's expansion program, which aims to double its refining capacity from 700,000 to 1.4 million barrels per day by 2029.
