But that is changing.
The ongoing public offer for the Dangote Petroleum Refinery is giving everyday Nigerians an opportunity to buy shares in one of Africa’s biggest industrial projects, directly from their smartphones.
The offer, which opened on September 14, 2026, is available on i-invest, an investment app that allows users to access the Dangote Refinery offer without having to go through a complicated process.
i-invest is a digital investment platform powered by Parthian, a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-regulated financial services group. Parthian Securities Limited (PSEC) is a joint stockbroker to the Dangote Refinery IPO.
Minimum subscription starts at 10 shares for N5,250, with each share priced at N525. This means workers, small business owners, young professionals and other retail investors can participate without needing millions of naira to get started.
How i-invest makes the Dangote Refinery offer easier
One of the major attractions of using i-invest is that the entire process can be completed from a smartphone.
New users can download the app, create an account and complete their verification using their Bank Verification Number (BVN).
After verification, users can fund their i-invest wallet and proceed to the public offer section to subscribe for Dangote Refinery shares.
For people who do not already have a Central Securities Clearing System (CSCS) account, i-invest also provides an automated CSCS account creation process at no additional cost.
This removes one of the hurdles that could discourage first-time investors from participating in a public offer.
