00:01Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, is extending the deadline for the initial public offering of his Nigerian oil refinery.
00:10The IPO was due to close on Tuesday, but will now run until October 27.
00:16The 700,000-barrel-a-day Lagos facility had aimed to raise $1.6 billion to double its capacity.
00:24Dangote says there's been enough interest to raise more than three or four times the target amount.
00:31The extension, he said, was to ensure ordinary people get a chance to own a stake in the refinery.
00:39If the proposed expansion goes ahead, it will be the world's largest, surpassing India's Gemnaga.
