National Oil Companies (NOCs) in Nigeria and Angola have advanced plans for initial public offerings (IPOs), in a significant move to revitalize Africa’s oil and gas sector. 

These IPOs are expected to attract substantial global investment, providing much-needed capital to enhance production capabilities, improve infrastructure, and foster long-term growth.  

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) has announced that it is in the final stages of preparing for its IPO, as mandated by the Petroleum Industry Act of 2021. Chief Finance and Investor Relations Officer Olugbenga Oluwaniyi confirmed.

“We are currently engaging top-tier investment banks and investor relations experts.

“The goal is to attract serious investors who believe in Nigeria’s energy future.” 

Olugbenga Oluwaniyi, Chief Finance and Investor Relations Officer

He added that the IPO is designed to enhance transparency, boost corporate governance, and make NNPC a more commercially viable enterprise.

The planned public listing is expected to offer a portion of the company’s shares to both local and international investors, creating a new pathway for energy investment in Africa’s largest economy. 

“This is not just an IPO; it’s a transformation. We’re laying the foundation for a more accountable and resilient oil and gas sector.” 

Olugbenga Oluwaniyi, Chief Finance and Investor Relations Officer

The Petroleum Industry Act stipulates that NNPC must be listed in line with the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 1990, thereby opening the door for institutional and retail investors to acquire shares in the company.

Meanwhile, Angola’s Sonangol is also moving forward with plans to list up to 30% of its shares in the public market.  

CEO Sebastião Gaspar Martins emphasized that the company is undergoing critical internal reforms to prepare for this offering. “Sonangol is committed to becoming a more competitive and efficient player in the global upstream sector,” Martins stated. 

He added that the IPO aligns with Angola’s broader economic diversification agenda, which aims to reduce reliance on oil revenues by modernizing key state institutions and attracting foreign direct investment.  

The partial privatization is expected to raise substantial funds to support exploration and production initiatives, particularly in Angola’s offshore oil reserves. 

“We’re not just privatizing for the sake of it. “This is about modernizing, embracing innovation, and setting a new standard for energy governance in Angola.”

The planned IPOs of NNPC and Sonangol represent a transformative shift in Africa’s oil and gas industry. By opening up to public investment, these companies aim to enhance operational efficiency, foster transparency, and stimulate economic growth. 

The influx of capital from these IPOs is anticipated to fund critical infrastructure projects, advance technological innovation, and expand exploration activities across the continent.

Historically, NOCs have been primarily state-controlled entities with limited outside investment, but this move signals a growing recognition of the need for private sector involvement to drive sustainable development and competitive markets. 

These developments assure global investors that African nations are committed to creating conducive environments for investment, characterized by improved regulatory frameworks and corporate governance standards. 

The timing of these IPOs aligns strategically with African Energy Week 2025, a premier event dedicated to promoting investment and collaboration in Africa’s energy sector.  

The progress of NNPC and Sonangol’s IPOs is expected to be a focal point at the event, where policymakers, industry leaders, and investors will engage in discussions on Africa’s energy future 

The IPO initiatives by NNPC and Sonangol mark a pivotal moment for Africa’s oil and gas industry.  

As these companies transition toward greater transparency and market competitiveness, they are set to reshape the investment landscape for the continent’s hydrocarbon resources. 

With global investors closely watching, the success of these IPOs could set a precedent for other African nations seeking to modernize their energy sectors and attract long-term investment.  

The next steps will involve finalizing regulatory approvals, securing investor confidence, and ensuring smooth execution of the public offerings.
