Dangote Refinery IPO to Open in 10-12 Days Targeting $5 Billion Raise

Dangote Refinery's IPO opens in 10-12 days targeting a $5 billion raise—potentially Africa's largest public offering. The 650,000 bpd facility (reached full capacity Feb, tested at 700,000 bpd) plans to double capacity to 1.4 million bpd. This follows a $2.5 billion private placement in July and a $400 million underwriting commitment, with the refinery valued at $39.1 billion.

Meanwhile, Dangote Cement's secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange is set for October, broadening access to global capital. Dangote also announced groundbreaking for a Kenya refinery partnership on September 30, aiming to reduce East Africa's fuel import dependence.

With stronger refining margins from Middle East disruptions boosting demand, will you consider this IPO given the refinery's current operations, expansion plans, and the $39.1 billion valuation versus the $5 billion target?
