The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the proposed Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE.
The company plans to offer 4.1 billion ordinary shares at ₦525 per share, which could raise about ₦2.15 trillion if fully subscribed.
The SEC has also registered the company’s existing 120.13 billion ordinary shares.
The IPO will give Nigerian investors an opportunity to own shares in the Dangote Refinery and potentially benefit from dividends and future growth.
However, investors should note that the ₦525 offer price does not guarantee a profit. The share price after listing will depend on market demand, the company’s financial performance and broader economic conditions.
The Dangote Refinery, located in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, has a stated capacity of 700,000 barrels per day and plans to expand to 1.4 million barrels per day.
Investors should carefully review the final offer documents before subscribing, particularly the company’s financial performance, valuation, dividend policy, debt obligations, use of IPO proceeds and expansion plans.
The proposed IPO could become one of Nigeria’s largest capital-market transactions and increase public participation in the ownership of major domestic businesses.
