Dangote Petroleum Refinery has formally filed its initial public offering application with the Securities and Exchange Commission, advancing plans for what is expected to be Africa’s largest stock market listing. SEC Director-General Emomotimi Agama confirmed the filing and indicated no significant regulatory hurdles are anticipated, keeping a potential September 2026 launch on track. The development follows a heavily oversubscribed $2.5 billion private placement and recent regulatory approval for pension fund administrators to participate in the offer. The listing is set to become a landmark event for the Nigerian Exchange, significantly boosting market depth and liquidity.
