KIGALI, Rwanda — The Capital Markets Authority of Rwanda has initiated discussions with key market stakeholders to enable local investors to participate in the upcoming initial public offering of Nigeria’s Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
In an official statement released on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, the Capital Markets Authority confirmed that it is actively working to open access to the listing. Okay News reports that the Capital Markets Authority of Rwanda announced its collaboration with market institutions following significant interest from local retail and institutional investors seeking exposure to the facility.
