On Tuesday, Devakumar Edwin, an executive at Dangote Refinery, unveiled this proposed development.

Last year, in an interview with the Financial Times, Aliko Dangote announced the intention to publicly list his Dangote Petroleum Refinery on the Nigerian Exchange Limited.

Devakumar Edwin, the Dangote refinery executive, told Reuters that the Nigerian Stock Exchange alone would not be able to handle the refinery exclusively giving way to the London listing.

He said, “We have listed all our businesses. The NSE (Nigerian Stock Exchange) will not have adequate depth to handle exclusively the petroleum refinery. We would have to take it to LSE (London Stock Exchange) but also list in NSE.”

In February, Umaru Kwairanga, Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group, also confirmed that Dangote Industries plans to list its refinery and fertilizer companies.

The $20.5 billion Dangote refinery. which commenced production in January after enduring years of delay, boasts a processing capacity of 650,000 barrels per day.
