The company said the extension was approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and advisers linked to the deal have described the move as a way to widen access for investors across Africa.<\/p>\n<p>The offer is one of the most closely watched capital-market events in Nigeria this year, both because of the size of the refinery and because it has been marketed heavily to everyday savers rather than only to institutional funds.<\/p>\n<h2>How the offer works<\/h2>\n<p>According to the offer documents, shares are priced at N525 each. The minimum subscription is 10 shares, which works out to N5,250, and applications above that must be made in multiples of 10 shares. Nigerian applicants need a Bank Verification Number (BVN) and a valid payment method, and can apply through SEC-registered banks, stockbrokers and approved digital investment platforms. Several fintech apps have also added the offer to their menus.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that submitting an application is not the same as receiving shares. If the offer is oversubscribed, allotments may be scaled back according to the basis of allotment approved by regulators, and any excess funds are refunded.<\/p>\n<h3>Key points<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>New closing date:<\/strong> Tuesday, October 27, 2026.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> N525 per share; minimum of 10 shares (N5,250).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Requirements:<\/strong> BVN and a payment method for Nigerian applicants.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Channels:<\/strong> SEC-registered banks, brokers and approved fintech platforms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Allotment:<\/strong> not guaranteed; applications may be scaled down if oversubscribed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Doing your homework<\/h2>\n<p>Financial advisers routinely encourage first-time investors to read the prospectus, which sets out the company&#8217;s financial history, risks, use of proceeds and dividend policy, before committing money. Investors should also confirm that any platform they use is properly registered, avoid sharing BVN or banking details through unofficial links, and keep receipts of their applications.<\/p>\n<p>The refinery recently published unaudited third-quarter results showing strong growth in revenue and profit, which has added to interest in the offer. Market watchers expect the listing, once completed, to become one of the largest by market value on the Nigerian Exchange.<\/p>\n<p class=\"photo-credit\"><small>Photo: Unsplash (illustrative).<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The application window for the refinery&#8217;s IPO now closes on Tuesday, October 27, following regulatory approval for an extension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":202,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[28,35,67,103],"class_list":["post-102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-capital-market","tag-dangote-refinery","tag-ipo","tag-sec"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsroom.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsroom.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsroom.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsroom.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsroom.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=102"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsroom.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsroom.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsroom.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsroom.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsroom.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
