The Dangote Refinery listed its shares on the Nigerian Exchange Group, with an initial offer price of N525 per ordinary share. The offering, which seeks to raise N2.15tn for expansion, involves 4.5 billion shares. The IPO targeted Nigerian retail investors, but the surge in interest overwhelmed several trading platforms, causing outages for users of Bamboo, Cowrywise, and InvestNaija.
