> Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote has launched Africa’s largest share sale, offering the public about 3% of his refinery in an IPO that could raise up to $2.1bn. He says the sale will let ordinary Nigerians share in the plant’s success, while experts warn that prices could fall and urge buyers to avoid investing money they need soon.
