Dangote Cement Plc has announced plans to host a Capital Markets Day in London on 21 September 2026, as part of preparations for its secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange.
The company disclosed this in a regulatory filing submitted to the Nigerian Exchange Limited on Wednesday, signed by its Company Secretary, Edward Imoedemhe.
The upcoming London event builds on a corporate update issued on 12 May 2026, following formal shareholder approval for the proposed dual-listing on the UK bourse.
According to the firm, the briefing will offer international investors, market analysts and key stakeholders insights into its operational performance, strategic roadmap and core business priorities, while enabling direct engagement with senior executives
The company stated: “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 decision to seek a listing on the London bourse marks the culmination of a decade-long ambition championed by founder Aliko Dangote.
Earlier plans for an LSE debut were put on hold due to regulatory hurdles and heavy capital commitments towards major infrastructure projects, including the $20bn Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
However, the initiative gained fresh momentum after the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority relaxed listing rules for overseas issuers. Shareholders ratified the move during the company’s annual general meeting in July 2026, empowering the board to sell up to a 10 per cent equity stake to global institutional investors.
Market analysts note that a secondary listing in London will give foreign institutional investors direct exposure to Sub-Saharan Africa’s largest cement manufacturer in major foreign currencies, bypassing foreign exchange constraints common in frontier markets. London was selected over alternative financial centres such as Dubai due to its deeper liquidity pools and compatible reporting frameworks for global fund managers.
Dangote Cement operates integrated manufacturing plants and grinding facilities across 10 African nations, including Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Senegal and Ivory Coast.
With an installed production capacity exceeding 55 million metric tonnes per annum, the manufacturer is targeting an expanded capacity of 80 to 100 Mta by 2030 to serve continental export markets. It remains the most capitalised stock on the NGX.
The global roadshow also coincides with recent boardroom changes within the conglomerate. Following Aliko Dangote’s exit from the cement board, his daughter, Mariya Dangote, was appointed as a director as part of broader executive leadership transitions.
Upon completion of the transaction, Dangote Cement will join other major Nigerian-linked corporations with dual listings in London, including Seplat Energy Plc, Airtel Africa Plc and Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc.
