The buzz around the Dangote IPO continues. It’s capital market history in the making. But separating real signal from noise has been tough.

To share the latest updates:

The company has officially filed for a $5 billion offering with Nigeria’s SEC. While the final size isn’t locked in yet, the plan is to list in Lagos, with the offer expected to wrap up in October.

But this is still pending the final regulatory sign-off.

Underwriting is already solid. Advisers Marob Strategies and Lilium Capital confirmed a $1 billion backing programme. They have already placed $600 million in private placement and have another $400 million ready at launch.

So yes, the machinery is moving. But here’s what’s missing from most coverage: the actual numbers, straight from the source.
