How Can I Participate in the Dangote Sugar Rights Issue to Buy More Shares at ₦60?

If you already own shares in Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc and you qualify for the current Rights Issue, you can participate by purchasing additional shares at the offer price of ₦60 per share. The offer is structured as:
2 new shares for every 3 existing shares held.
The qualification date was April 20, 2026. Only shareholders whose names were on the register as of that date are eligible.
First Important Clarification
You mentioned:
“Dangote Refinery Sugar”
The Rights Issue currently ongoing is actually for:
Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc
—not Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
How Rights Issue Works
A rights issue gives existing shareholders the right to buy more shares before the public, usually at a discounted price.
In this case:
Offer price = ₦60 per share
Market price was above ₦60 when announced, making it relatively attractive.
Example
Suppose you already own:
300 shares
The offer ratio is:
2 new shares÷3 existing shares
So your entitlement becomes:
300 × 2÷3 =200 new shares
Cost to subscribe:
200 × 60 = 12,000
So you would pay:
₦12,000 to acquire 200 additional shares.

So you should act before the closing date.
What You Need
Usually:
CHN/CSCS number

valid bank details
If Shares Are In Your CSCS Account
Then your rights entitlement is usually tied automatically to your holdings as at:

Can You Buy More Than Your Entitlement?
Sometimes yes.
In many Nigerian rights issues:
shareholders may apply for extra shares beyond their entitlement.
If some investors do not take up their rights:
excess shares may be redistributed to interested shareholders.
You can ask your broker:
“Can I apply for excess rights?”
What Happens If You Ignore It?
If you do nothing:
your rights may expire unused.
In some markets rights can be traded, but whether this will happen depends on NGX arrangements and broker handling.
