SEC Nigeria Review Process
Dangote Group appoints issuing houses
Investment banks are mandated to prepare the DRHP. Major Nigerian banks (Access Bank, GTBank, Stanbic IBTC) and international advisors are expected to be involved.
DRHP filed with SEC Nigeria
The draft document is submitted electronically. This is the trigger event that marks the formal start of the IPO process. Mystocks will alert all registered users when this occurs.
SEC Nigeria review (30–90 days)
Regulators review the DRHP for completeness, accuracy, and compliance. SEC Nigeria may issue comments that require Dangote Group to revise and refile sections.
Final approval and pricing
Once SEC Nigeria approves the DRHP, Dangote Group and its issuing houses finalise the offer price and subscription dates. The final prospectus is published.
Subscription window opens
Retail and institutional investors can subscribe. The window typically runs 2–4 weeks for large NGX IPOs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Has the Dangote IPO prospectus been released?
No. As of May 2026, no Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) or final prospectus has been filed with SEC Nigeria. The prospectus is expected to be released after Dangote Group formally appoints issuing houses and completes its internal audited accounts for submission.
What is a DRHP and how does it differ from the final prospectus?
A Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) is the preliminary filing submitted to SEC Nigeria for review. It contains all material information except the final offer price and allocation details. The final prospectus is the approved, fully priced version released to investors when the subscription window opens.

The prospectus will be available on: (1) the SEC Nigeria website (sec.gov.ng), (2) the NGX Group investor portal, (3) the websites of the appointed issuing houses, and (4) your Mystocks Africa account — we will notify all registered users and link directly to the document.
How long does SEC Nigeria take to review the Dangote IPO prospectus?
SEC Nigeria typically takes 30–90 business days to review and approve a prospectus after filing. For a listing of Dangote's anticipated scale, review may involve additional queries and amendments. The process can extend beyond 90 days if SEC Nigeria issues comments that require significant revisions.
What are the key sections to read in the Dangote IPO prospectus?
Focus on: (1) Risk Factors — understand oil price sensitivity, regulatory risk, and currency risk; (2) Financial Statements — review audited revenue, EBITDA, and debt levels; (3) Use of Proceeds — how the IPO funds will be deployed; (4) Dividend Policy — whether a commitment is made; (5) Lock-up Periods — how long insiders are restricted from selling; (6) Management Team — who is running the company post-IPO.
Will the Dangote IPO prospectus be available in English?
Yes. All NGX-listed securities file their prospectus in English, which is the official language of Nigerian regulatory filings and the NGX. International investors can access the same prospectus as Nigerian retail investors.
