Nigerian students have the opportunity to receive 10 free shares in Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE through the Aliko Dangote Foundation's Student Share Grant Initiative. The aim of this program is to promote financial inclusion, encourage savings and investment, and introduce young Nigerians to the capital market.
To qualify, students must be at least 18 years old, enrolled in an eligible Nigerian tertiary institution, not in a postgraduate program, and provide necessary information for student verification. The minimum subscription fee for the shares is ₦5,250, based on the offer price of ₦525 per share. Eligible students who apply for and pay for a minimum of 10 shares may have the foundation fund a separate application for an additional 10 shares at no cost to them.
However, the foundation does not guarantee allotment of shares. To apply, students must visit the Aliko Dangote Foundation's official Share Grant Initiative portal, verify their student status, complete the verification process, apply for at least 10 shares, and wait for the foundation's decision. The initiative closes on October 27, 2026, so students should check the official portal for updates and confirm the application channel remains open before applying.
