Nigeria’s Dangote Hopes to Strike Gold in South Africa

The refinery plans to raise $5 billion and could become one of Africa’s largest listings, with Kenya also being considered for regional participation.

  • Dangote Refinery is planning a $5 billion initial public offering, with a preliminary filing submitted to the Nigerian regulator targeting an October listing.
  • Built by Aliko Dangote at a cost of roughly $20 billion, the 650,000-barrel-per-day facility is Africa's largest, with NNPC holding a stake of just over 7%.
  • The Johannesburg Stock Exchange has engaged with the group regarding a potential secondary listing in South Africa, with JSE Chief Executive Officer Valdene Reddy aiming to attract the refinery.
  • Regional capital markets may participate, with Kenya potentially raising $500m; the JSE stated, "They will list in Nigeria first but with strong intent to hopefully bring the listing to South Africa."
  • Production at the refinery began in 2024, and the facility reached full capacity earlier this year, positioning the company for the anticipated expansion.
