Simple Access to the Dangote Refinery IPO with i-invest

For many Nigerians, the Dangote Refinery Initial Public Offering (IPO) is more than another investment opportunity. It is an opportunity to participate in the ownership of one of Africa’s most significant industrial assets.

Retail participation has been designed to be accessible. Investors can apply for as few as 10 shares, representing an investment of ₦5,250, with subsequent applications in multiples of 10 shares.

For investors who prefer to manage their investments digitally, i-invest provides a convenient way to participate in the offer from a mobile device.

i-invest is a digital investment platform powered by Parthian , a Securities and Exchange Commission-regulated financial services group. The platform provides access to fixed-income investments, savings, equities and public offers, giving investors a convenient digital alternative to more traditional investment and application processes.

That convenience becomes particularly relevant for an offer expected to attract substantial retail participation.

1. Download or open the i-invest app The app is available on iOS and Android.

2. Complete your account verification Ensure your profile information and Know Your Customer (KYC) details are complete, including your BVN and other required information. A Central Securities Clearing System (CSCS) account is required for holding shares electronically. i-invest automatically provides a CSCS account for eligible customers, subject to approval.

Public offers can attract significant investor interest, and the difference between being interested in an opportunity and actually participating can often come down to how easy the process is.

With i-invest, the application can be handled from a smartphone, giving investors a familiar digital experience while accessing a regulated capital-market channel.

For investors who already use i-invest for other investments, the process also takes place within a platform they already know.

Customers will also be able to manage and sell their shares through the platform, while continuing to access a broad range of savings and investment products beyond the IPO.

The sensible approach, therefore, is to understand the offer, consider the risks and make an informed decision about whether it is appropriate for you.
