Dangote Group Truck Drivers Report Harassment from Investors

Truck drivers employed by the Dangote Group have raised alarms regarding harassment from newly minted retail investors following the launch of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals Initial Public Offering (IPO) on September 14, 2026. In a translated video, a driver recounted incidents where individuals approached him, claiming co-ownership of the truck because they had purchased shares in the company.

He described the situation as “unbearable,” detailing encounters where people warned him about his driving and threatened his job security due to their new shareholder status. The driver clarified that while investment in the refinery is welcome, owning shares does not grant authority over company assets or its workers.

He urged the public to refrain from harassing truck operators, as their work is already demanding. The IPO aims to raise approximately ₦2.15 trillion ($1.6 billion) by offering 4.1 billion ordinary shares at ₦525 each, with the offer closing on October 13 and listing expected in November 2026.
