With N402bn Paid In 2024, Dangote Group Retains Position As Nigeria’s Highest Taxpayer

The Dangote Industries Limited (Dangote Group) and its subsidiaries, including Dangote Cement, NASCON, and Dangote Packaging Limited, collectively remitted a total of N402.319 billion as taxes in 2024, to retain its position as the highest tax-paying company in Nigeria.

Dangote’s Chief Branding and Communication Officer, Anthony Chiejina, disclosed this during an interactive session with senior media executives at his Lagos office.

It would be recalled that the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Nigeria’s apex tax authority, had earlier in 2024 recognized DIL and its subsidiary, Bluestar Shipping, as the most tax-compliant organization in the country.

Speaking at the session, Chiejina emphasized that DIL and its subsidiaries have remained unwavering in fulfilling their obligations to both the government and their host communities. Beyond tax compliance, the conglomerate has significantly contributed to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, reinforcing its role as a responsible corporate citizen.

According to Chiejina, “As a responsible business entity, the Dangote Group ensures timely and full tax remittance at all levels of government. We also prioritize community engagement and social impact initiatives, furthering our commitment to national development.”
