PRESS RELEASE
Managing Director, Dangote Refinery, David Bird
The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has taken another major step
towards deepening retail participation in its ongoing Initial Public Offering
(IPO) by enabling prospective investors to subscribe for shares through
participating Moniepoint Point-of-Sale (POS) agents across the country.
The initiative is designed to bring share ownership closer tomillion millions
of Nigerians, particularly those in communities where agency banking has become
a primary channel for accessing financial services.
Under the arrangement, interested investors can visit
participating Moniepoint agents at any time to complete their subscription to
the Dangote Petroleum Refinery IPO through the approved process. The
development significantly expands access to the offer and aligns with the
company’s vision of creating one of the broadest shareholder bases in Africa.
The refinery's shares are being offered at N525 per share, with
a minimum subscription of 10 shares, representing an entry investment of
N5,250. Investors are also permitted to subscribe multiple times throughout the
offer period, enabling them to progressively build their holdings.
Speaking on the development, the company stated that the
introduction of the Moniepoint agency network represents another deliberate
effort to democratize investment opportunities and ensure that more Nigerians
can participate in the ownership of one of Africa's most strategic industrial
assets.
"One of the key objectives of this public offer is to
broaden participation and make share ownership accessible to ordinary
Nigerians. By leveraging the extensive Moniepoint agent network, we are
bringing the opportunity to invest in the Dangote Refinery closer to the
people, wherever they may be."
The company noted that agency banking has transformed financial
inclusion in Nigeria by extending financial services to underserved communities
and reducing barriers to access. The same infrastructure is now being deployed
to help more Nigerians participate in the capital market.
According to the company, the move reinforces its long-term
aspiration of building a wide and diversified shareholder community, with
millions of Nigerians having a direct stake in the growth and success of the
refinery.
Prospective subscribers using Moniepoint agents are required to
complete their transactions through the approved subscription process and
retain their receipts as evidence of payment. Investors will also receive
confirmation of their subscriptions through SMS notifications linked to their
registered telephone numbers.
The company advised intending investors to carefully review the
Prospectus and seek professional advice from licensed stockbrokers or financial
advisers before making investment decisions. Details of approved subscription
channels, as well as the Prospectus, are available on the IPO portal.

agents and a minimum entry investment of just N5,250, the Dangote Petroleum
Refinery IPO is opening the door for millions of Nigerians to become part owners
of one of the largest industrial investments on the African continent.
