Summary
Bamboo handled more than 600,000 Dangote Refinery IPO subscription transactions worth about ₦99 billion, edging Zenith Bank’s roughly ₦98 billion to lead identified online channels.
₦860 billion in online retail subscriptions came through about 2.2 million transactions from 1.55 million unique online subscribers, underscoring how digital platforms widened access to the offer.
NGX Invest, launched in 2024, provided the electronic infrastructure linking fintechs, banks and brokers; NGX says it already helped mobilize about ₦2.8 trillion of ₦4.65 trillion raised in bank recapitalization offers.
The IPO offered 4.1 billion shares at ₦525 each, targeting about ₦2.15 trillion with a 10-share minimum, but drew fewer than 2 million subscribers versus Aliko Dangote’s 10 million goal.
The result points to a broader shift in Nigeria’s capital market: investment distribution is moving into everyday financial apps, potentially extending beyond listed shares into regulated fractional access to productive assets.
