UBA is encouraging interested investors, including its customers and members of the investing public, to take advantage of its approved channels to participate in the offer.

Investors are, however, advised to read the Prospectus and other offer documents carefully and seek appropriate professional advice where necessary before investing.

An investment in shares carries risks, and the value of an investment may rise or fall.

The official Dangote Refinery IPO website specifically warns investors never to disclose their PIN, password or OTP or pay money into a personal account.
