Nigeria’s Dangote Refinery is moving toward public ownership, aiming to raise 1.6 billion dollars through shares offered to retail investors throughout Africa.

Dangote Refinery Seeks $1.6 Billion from African Retail Investors
Bold move opening up to retail across the continent. Hope the dividend potential is real and not just speculative hype.

Finally, a chance for regular Africans to own a piece of industrial history. Let’s see if the shares are affordable for us.
