Dangote Cement Plc is set to host London investors on September 21 as it advances plans for a secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange.
The company spoke in a corporate filing with the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) on Wednesday, signed by Edward Imoedemhe, company secretary.
The cement manufacturer will hold a Capital Markets Day (CMD) in London, where its senior management will provide updates on the company’s strategy, operations, and business priorities and engage with investors.
The announcement follows Dangote Cement’s May 12, 2026, notice and subsequent shareholder approval for the proposed secondary listing on the LSE.
Dangote Cement said the CMD is intended to give investors deeper insight into its business and strategic direction.
“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,” the company said.
The company said further details, including the event’s agenda and logistics, would be communicated in due course.
Presentation materials from the CMD will also be made available to the market in line with applicable disclosure requirements.
The London event is expected to provide international investors with greater insight into Dangote Cement as the company seeks to broaden its investor base through a secondary UK listing.
The proposed LSE listing follows an earlier announcement by Aliko Dangote, President of Dangote Group, that Dangote Cement intends to pursue a dual listing in London in 2026.
Dangote disclosed the plan in an interview with the Financial Times, stating that the company plans to sell about 10 per cent of its shares to external investors as part of the proposed UK listing.
Dangote Cement had considered a London listing as far back as 2018 but could not proceed amid stringent listing requirements and the demands associated with the construction of the company’s massive refinery project in Nigeria.
However, changes to UK listing rules by the Financial Conduct Authority have made the London market more attractive to the company.
The proposed overseas listing also forms part of Dangote Group’s broader strategy of accessing international and African capital markets to support its expansion plans.
The group has separately announced plans to list Dangote Refinery, its 650,000-barrel-per-day facility, on multiple African stock exchanges.
In April, Dangote said he planned to list about 10 percent of the refinery on multiple African exchanges to raise funding for the next phase of expansion across his industrial businesses.
Dangote Cement’s drive to expand its international investor base comes amid strong financial performance.
The company reported a pre-tax profit of N981.39 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing a 34.43 percent increase from N730.03 billion recorded in the corresponding period of 2025.
Profit after tax also rose by 22.69 percent to N638.53 billion, while earnings per share increased to N38.22 from N30.74 a year earlier.
