Dangote Refinery Set For IPO Signing Ceremony In Lagos
The refinery will sell 4.1 billion shares at N525 each and aims to raise about $1.6 billion to fund expansion, the company said.
- Nigeria's Securities and Exchange Commission approved the Dangote Petroleum Refinery IPO on September 3, clearing the order book to open on September 14, 2026. The offering of 4.1 billion shares at ₦525 each aims to raise approximately ₦2.15 trillion.
- The refinery reported an after-tax profit of approximately $1.82 billion in the first half of 2026, signaling strong operational performance. IPO proceeds will fund capacity expansion from 700,000 to 1.4 million barrels per day by 2029.
- Designed as a "People's IPO," the offering encourages retail participation with a minimum subscription of 10 shares at ₦5,250. CEO David Bird stated, "It's very much an IPO for the people," aiming to democratize wealth creation.
- Beyond the Lagos facility, the group plans a 700,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Lamu, Kenya, with groundbreaking scheduled for September 30. A $1 billion underwriting programme from Lilium Capital and Marob Strategies and Consulting bolsters institutional confidence.
- Dangote Group is exploring cross-border listings on exchanges in Johannesburg, Egypt, and Rwanda to expand regional reach. Analysts warn long-term returns depend on feedstock availability, refining margins, and successful execution of the expansion strategy.
