AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Dangote IPO Watch: Nigeria’s Dangote Petroleum Refinery has SEC clearance to launch an IPO of 4.1 billion shares at ₦525 each, targeting about $1.6bn; the order book is expected to open Sept. 14 and listing could be among the biggest in Africa, with proceeds aimed at doubling capacity to 1.4m bpd and expanding into East Africa. Climate & Capital Markets: Nigeria’s NGX has started corporate climate baseline assessments under its N-Zero initiative, helping firms measure emissions, plan transitions and tap emerging carbon-market opportunities. UN Map Push: The UN General Assembly voted to move away from the Mercator projection toward Equal Earth to better reflect Africa’s true size, with African states leading the campaign. Food Systems & Soil Health: At the Africa Food Systems Forum in Kigali, private-sector players warned that degraded soils threaten yields and urged better fertiliser use, reforms to subsidy payment delays, and stronger sustainable soil management. Energy Security (Tanzania): Tanzania is pushing for more investment and local participation in energy, while also accelerating SGR rail links to boost connectivity by 2030. Agribusiness Finance (Rwanda): IFAD, Bank of Kigali and Aceli Africa backed a $21m blended-finance programme to expand credit access for farmers’ organisations and smallholders, including women and youth. Mining & Industry (Namibia): TotalEnergies completed a deal with Galp, making it operator for Namibia’s Mopane discovery and strengthening its position in the Orange Basin. Infrastructure for Industry: Vertiv will showcase critical power and digital infrastructure solutions for Africa’s mining sector at Electra Mining Africa 2026 in Johannesburg.
