Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals aims to raise funds for its initial public offering by attracting 10 million retail investors. The N2.15tn IPO, priced at N525 per share, will commence on September 14 and conclude on October 14, ahead of the planned November listing on the Nigerian Exchange. The transaction advisers emphasized that this structure would be approximately 20 times Nigeria's current retail participation record, with a minimum subscription of 10 shares at N5,250.

The signing ceremony highlighted the commitment to accountability, disclosure, and transparency by the board, management, and transaction parties. Dangote Group President Aliko Dangote aimed to widen ownership beyond institutional and wealthy investors, bringing ordinary Nigerians into the ownership structure. The IPO also features a retail investor incentive scheme, allowing qualifying investors to receive up to two additional shares.

The transaction is fixed-price, with electronic participation through banks, fintech platforms, and stockbrokers. The N2.15tn offer aims to support the refinery's capital expenditure program and expand its product range, with completion targeted for 2028.
