EconomyNigeria’s Dangote refinery kicks off blockbuster IPO

Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote has launched Africa’s biggest-ever share sale, listing 4.1 billion shares in his Lagos refinery. He called it a “people’s IPO” intended to give all Nigerians a chance to benefit from the plant’s wealth potential. Trading is expected to begin in November. Global oil prices also rose as Houthi attacks led Saudi Arabia to shut its East-West oil pipeline.
