Dangote Cement Plc has announced plans to hold a Capital Markets Day in London on September 21, 2026, ahead of its proposed secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange.
The cement manufacturer disclosed this in a regulatory filing submitted to the Nigerian Exchange Limited on Wednesday and signed by its Company Secretary, Edward Imoedemhe.
The planned event follows a corporate update issued on May 12, 2026, after shareholders formally approved the company’s proposed dual listing on the UK stock market.
According to Dangote Cement, the London briefing will provide international investors, market analysts and other key stakeholders with insights into the company’s operational performance, strategic direction and business priorities.
The event will also provide an opportunity for participants to engage directly with the company’s senior management.
“Further to the Company’s announcement of 12 May 2026 and the subsequent approval by its shareholders of the proposed secondary listing of the Company’s shares on the London Stock Exchange, the Company is pleased to announce that it will be hosting a Capital Markets Day in London on 21 September 2026
“The CMD will provide investors and other stakeholders with an update on the Company’s strategy, operations and business priorities, as well as an opportunity to engage with the Company’s senior management. Further details including the agenda and logistics will be shared in due course.
Presentation materials for the CMD will also be made available to the market in accordance with applicable disclosure requirements,” the company stated.
The company added that presentation materials from the Capital Markets Day would also be made available to the market in line with applicable disclosure requirements.
Dangote Cement’s earlier plans for a London Stock Exchange debut were delayed by regulatory hurdles and significant capital commitments to major infrastructure projects, including the $20bn Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
The listing plan, however, regained momentum following the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s relaxation of listing rules for overseas issuers. Shareholders subsequently approved the move at the company’s annual general meeting in July 2026, authorising the board to offer up to a 10 per cent stake to global institutional investors.
Market analysts said a secondary listing in London would provide foreign institutional investors with direct access to Sub-Saharan Africa’s largest cement manufacturer through major foreign currencies, helping them navigate some of the foreign exchange constraints typically associated with frontier markets.
London was chosen over other financial centres, including Dubai, because of its deeper liquidity pools and reporting standards that are more closely aligned with the requirements of global fund managers.
Dangote Cement operates integrated manufacturing plants and grinding facilities across 10 African countries, including Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire.
The company has an installed production capacity of more than 55 million metric tonnes per annum and plans to increase this to between 80 million and 100 million tonnes annually by 2030, as it seeks to strengthen its position in continental export markets.
Dangote Cement remains the most capitalised company on the Nigerian Exchange.
