Dangote makes IPO available for sale through Moniepoint agents

Access to the Dangote Petroleum Refinery public offer has been further expanded, with prospective investors now able to subscribe for shares through participating Moniepoint agents 24 hours a day.

The initiative takes the refinery’s Initial Public Offering closer to millions of Nigerians who routinely use agency banking services, particularly individuals who may not ordinarily transact through conventional subscription channels.

Under the arrangement, prospective investors can visit participating Moniepoint agents at any time of the day to subscribe to the Dangote Petroleum Refinery IPO through the approved process.

The shares are being offered at N525 each, with a minimum subscription of 10 shares, meaning Nigerians can become prospective shareholders in the refinery with an investment of N5,250.

Investors are also permitted to subscribe multiple times, further widening the opportunity for individuals to build their holdings progressively during the offer period.

The introduction of the 24-hour agency channel represents another step towards broadening participation in the offer and lowering some of the practical barriers that could prevent retail investors from accessing the capital market.

Agency banking has become an important part of Nigeria’s financial infrastructure, bringing financial services closer to communities and individuals outside traditional banking and investment channels. Leveraging that network for the refinery offer potentially extends access to prospective investors across a wider geographical and socioeconomic spectrum.

The development also reinforces the broader ownership philosophy behind the public offer, which is designed to give ordinary Nigerians an opportunity to acquire a stake in one of the country’s largest industrial assets.

Prospective subscribers using participating Moniepoint agents are required to complete their subscription through the approved process and retain their transaction receipts as evidence of the transaction. Details of their subscription would also be received via sms to their registered phone number.

The company has advised investors to consult the offer Prospectus for full information on the public offer and approved subscription channels. Prospective investors are also encouraged to consult their stockbrokers or financial advisers before making investment decisions.

The Prospectus and details of approved subscription channels are available through the Dangote Petroleum Refinery IPO portal, ipo.dangote.com.

With a minimum entry point of N5,250 and round the clock access through participating agency banking outlets, the latest initiative effectively brings the refinery offer closer to the street, allowing a broader spectrum of Nigerians to participate in the ownership of the industrial asset.
