The Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals (DPRP) has unveiled plans for its Initial Public Offering (IPO) valued at approximately N2.15 trillion ($1.6 billion), with a targeted participation of up to 10 million Nigerian investors through a secure and technology-driven subscription process integrated with the nation’s Bank Verification Number (BVN) system.
The offer, scheduled to open on September 14, 2026, is expected to be one of the largest equity offerings in Nigeria’s capital market history. To accommodate strong investor interest, the transaction includes an over-allotment option of up to 30 per cent of the offer size. Upon completion of the offering and receipt of all regulatory approvals, the company’s shares will be listed on the Main Board of Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX).
Designed to broaden participation in wealth creation and deepen Nigeria’s capital market, the public offer provides millions of Nigerians with a unique opportunity to acquire ownership stakes in one of Africa’s most strategic industrial assets. The BVN- integrated subscription platform will enable investors across the country to participate seamlessly, securely and transparently, removing many of the traditional barriers to equity investment.
