Dangote refinery public offer

The timing of Paddy's post was impossible to ignore. Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals launched a public share offer on September 14, 2026, with subscriptions open until October 13. Shares are priced at ₦525 each, with a minimum purchase of 10 units. The offer is targeting approximately ₦2.15 trillion through the sale of around 4.1 billion ordinary shares, making it one of the largest equity offerings on the African continent. Trading on the Nigerian Exchange is expected to begin in late November 2026.
