source: http://www.eyesoflagos.com/2017/05/benue-dangote-calls-for-review-of-taxes.html

President and chief executive officer of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has called on the Benue State government to address the rapid rise in the number and rate of taxes and levies being charged by the revenue and tax agencies in the state.
Alhaji Dangote, who made the call during the commissioning of the tricycles and mini cement depots purchased by the Dangote Cement, Gboko plant, for onward distribution to the host community said, in recent times the Benue State Revenue and tax agencies have been too hard on the plant with multiple taxes and over 500 percent increase in taxes and levies.
“As a business, we have our own share of problems occasion by the down turn in the Nigeria economy; we require your support to help us stay in business not to drive us away by multiple taxes and levies. Please your excellency, we are appealing to you to look into these issues alongside the state house of assembly, with a view to lessening our tax burden”
Addressing beneficiaries at the plant premises in Gboko, the president and chief executive officer of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, who was represented by his special adviser, Engr Joe Makoju, said, the gesture was to keep the company’s rules of engagement with the host communities which is aimed at transforming the lives of the people around the operational units.
“This scheme is aimed at empowering our host communities, economically and socially, the mini cement depot and the tri-cycles will among other things make cement available to people at affordable prices, engage youths in more productive ventures, thereby eliminating idleness and criminality in the minds of youths”
According to him, the 30 tri-cycles and 5 mini cement depots is part of the company’s corporate social responsibility to the host community to improve the community’s welfare and living standard.
“We are in Benue State to stay and do business, that is why our future plans are already aimed at expanding our factory in a new site on the opposite side of the existing plant and we need your cooperation and an enabling environment for smooth operation of our business.”

Criminal pay ur tax and stop complain

Same with Cross River State Governor Ayade, increased tax on tanker drivers some days back. Excessive tax is what causes hike in prices of commodities in the market.

Money when no dey reach government purse

All those people that wud say go and start business do not look for job, I always laugh at the stark ignorance as if starting business is like chewing kpekus. Useless Nigerian govt at all levels wud not create work for the people and when the people do they kill it with taxes as if they use d tax for the benefit of people.

so why is the richest black man complaining like a pauper

Taxes are going up because of the fall in oil prices....thereby states have to generate money somehow.

After all....oil was $100 and above in 2013....now, it hovers at $50 per barrel. States have in essence lost half of what they used to earn four years ago....and they have one option....taxes or go broke.

Look around ur house u must find at least one product of this great man that u labelled a criminal.

The govt shud take it easy with his ppl,the economy is harsh enough...
Meanwhile....

Benue easily has the highest tax rate on civil servants (over 10%). The extortion of biz people is just criminal. It's like robbery. The idiot even wanted to tax personal boreholes! A man owing workers for 9 months o! Demonic pastor!

Hahahaha. The clueless governor wants to increase his IGR. I wonder if they have any company bigger than Dangote in benue state. The governor should understand that it not a big deal for Dangote to move his business to Kogi.
