LSE listing: Dangote Cement sets Sept 21 London briefing

Dangote Cement has scheduled a Capital Markets Day in London for September 21, 2026, as part of its preparations for a secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange. This announcement was made in a regulatory filing to the Nigerian Exchange Limited, signed by the Company Secretary, Edward Imoedemhe. The event follows a shareholder-approved plan for the dual listing in May 2026.

The London briefing aims to provide international investors, market analysts, and stakeholders with insights into the company's operational performance, strategic roadmap, and core business priorities. Company officials will interact directly with senior executives during the briefing. The CMD will share the company's strategy, operations, and business priorities, with plans to distribute presentation materials to the market.

The decision to list on the London bourse follows a decade-long goal set by founder Aliko Dangote. Dangote Cement operates in 10 African countries, with production capacity exceeding 55 million metric tonnes per annum. The company aims to expand this capacity to 80-100 Mta by 2030. The move to London provides foreign institutional investors with direct exposure to the company in major foreign currencies, avoiding exchange constraints faced in other markets.

London was chosen over other centers due to its liquidity pools and compatible reporting frameworks for global fund managers.
