Aliko Dangote Reports High Demand for Refinery Shares
On October 5, Nigerian equities experienced a decline of 0.52%, closing at 250,808.27 on the NGX All-Share Index, despite a positive market breadth where 44 stocks rose and 37 fell. The losses were attributed to heavyweight companies outweighing gains in other sectors.
Aliko Dangote described the demand for his refinery's share offer as "enormous" on September 29, although he did not disclose the total subscriptions. The share offer is set to close on October 13.
Additionally, the Nigerian banking system saw Standing Deposit Facility placements rise to ₦6.28 trillion as of September 29, indicating substantial liquidity, but this does not guarantee easier access to business loans. An upcoming board meeting on October 29 will consider third-quarter unaudited accounts, with trading restrictions for insiders remaining in place until 24 hours after results are made public.
