Dangote’s Mega Share Sale for Nigerians | Global News

Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote is launching Africa’s biggest-ever share sale, offering a stake in his colossal oil refinery—set to raise up to $2.1 billion—with the goal of letting everyday Nigerians invest in their nation’s energy future. The refinery, finally operational after over a decade, now powers more than 70% of Nigeria’s fuel needs, transforming the country from an importer to a self-sufficient producer. While optimism is high—with some savers already putting money in hopes of long-term gains—the experts caution: shares can dip, and new investors should avoid using emergency funds, aiming instead for a 3-5 year horizon. And with big moves come scams—so stick to official channels only. This isn’t just about cash; it’s about reshaping Africa’s energy landscape, as Dangote, already a cement and sugar titan, eyes doubling the refinery’s capacity with these funds.
