15. The decision to award Dangote the tax-for-road contract was based on an existing ‘infrastructure-for- taxes’ provision of the Companies Income Tax Act (CITA), known as the “Exemption of Profits Order 2012”.

HungerBad lives on

Cool �

Make sense...but dangote cement too cost, please cement is a component of infrastructure development, especially in the area of housing, dangote please reduce the price of cement.

Dangote continues to Yahoo the Nigerian government. Already, he pays little in taxes and makes humongous annual profits from DangoteCem due to a poorly regulated cement cartel that exploits Nigerians. Now he gets a 10-year tax break for N72billion of construction work? The kind mugu the guy has made of the Nigerian government no be here, sha. Tax waivers. Import waivers. Forex waivers.

Do I need this?

Hitech Construction Company Ltd.

This name reminds me of Airport road Benin in Edo State some years back.
