Dangote Petroleum Refinery has secured a US$1 billion (Ksh129 billion) underwriting programme ahead of its planned initial public offering (IPO), marking a significant step towards what could become Africa's largest stock market listing. The underwriting programme includes a fully funded US$600 million (Ksh77.4 billion) private placement and a further US$400 million (Ksh51.6 billion) underwriting commitment, which will support the planned IPO.
The development is significant for Kenya, as local institutional investors could participate in the offering, with Kenyan pension funds and other investors expected to have an opportunity to participate. The primary listing is expected to take place in Nigeria, with the refinery targeting an October 2026 listing if regulatory approvals and other preparations are completed.
