> The Dangote refinery’s IPO has drawn strong public interest and will now close on October 27, 2026, after a two-week extension. Escalating conflict in the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz closure have driven up global crude prices and caused shortages, prompting African and European countries to turn to the refinery. Nigeria aims to become a regional refining and petrochemicals hub.
