Dangote Petroleum Refinery has taken its “Made in Nigeria. Built for the world.” campaign to one of the world’s most recognizable advertising locations, New York’s Times Square. On Friday, September 18, 2026, Aliko Dangote, President and Chief Executive of Dangote Group, joined members of his leadership team in New York as the refinery’s campaign appeared on digital billboards in Times Square. The display comes as the refinery continues to expand its international profile, showcasing a major Nigerian industrial project on a highly visible global platform. The Times Square campaign coincides with the refinery’s ongoing public offering on the Nigerian Exchange, which opened on September 14 and offers 4.1 billion ordinary shares at ₦525 each. The offer is scheduled to remain open until October 13, 2026.
The New York appearance comes at an important stage for the refinery as it seeks to expand its ownership base and increase its international reach. The IPO, described by Dangote as the “People’s IPO,” is expected to raise about ₦2.15 trillion if fully subscribed, with the proceeds supporting the company’s expansion plans. The refinery currently has a processing capacity of about 700,000 barrels per day, while its broader expansion plans aim to increase capacity significantly in the coming years. Reuters reported that Dangote is also considering a potential U.S. listing of the refinery business within the next three to four years. The Times Square campaign therefore places the Nigerian refinery directly in front of an international audience at a time when the company is seeking greater global visibility and participation in its next phase of growth.
The campaign also reflects the refinery’s growing role in Nigeria’s petroleum export story. The facility, located in Lagos, has moved from being a major domestic industrial project to an exporter of refined petroleum products, with the company seeking markets beyond Africa. The Times Square billboard, carrying the message “Made in Nigeria. Built for the world,” presents that ambition in one of the most internationally recognizable commercial spaces. For Dangote Group, the display is another opportunity to place Nigerian manufacturing and industrial capacity before a global audience while the refinery continues its public share offering and expansion plans.
