Dangote opens $1.6bn refinery IPO to Kenyan investors in East Africa push

The Aliko Dangote Foundation (ADF) has launched a Share Grant Initiative aimed at encouraging financial literacy and responsible participation among Nigerian tertiary students in the country's capital market. Under this initiative, eligible students who apply for at least 10 shares in the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE (DPRP) Initial Public Offering (IPO) may be eligible for the Foundation to fund and submit an additional application for 10 shares on their behalf.

If the additional application is fully allotted, an eligible student could potentially receive up to 20 shares with an offer value of N10,500 by investing a minimum of N5,250. However, the Foundation emphasizes that neither its funding of the additional application nor the eventual allotment of the shares is guaranteed, as applications, payments, allotments, refunds, and the eventual holding of the shares remain governed by the DPRP IPO prospectus and applicable capital-market rules.

The initiative is open to students currently enrolled in qualifying private, federal, or state government-owned tertiary institutions in Nigeria, with postgraduate students not eligible for the program.
