Keneking: Brother Judas, this just shows how narrow minded you are. Dangote should as part of corporate social responsibility have been made to undertake the renovation of the road without any tax rebate because his trucks were primarily responsible for the decimation of the road. Just shows how clueless this government is! We are hearing the government is broke and that oil revenues are dwindling and here we have that idiot Fashola further rationing off valuable future incomes over 'some years' (not explicitly stated) to Africa's richest man who should be taxed more along with the elites in his class!!! Very soon, you will soon see this government giving tax rebates to Shell for cleaning oil spills in the Niger Delta! |

DropShot: Good point. But also know that those in Govt are not dumb. We have professionals and experts in Govt who MUST have done their homework properly. They have just spared us the details. |

Ibime: You may have a point there. The government has set aside the largest ever provision for capital expenditure and even before we have begun to enjoy the benefits of this budget provision, we have started hearing of these kind of shady deals. Dangote and co whose businesses have a huge environmental footprint should be heavily taxed to provide solutions to these kind of problems their businesses create. They should also pay more tax than the common man. Even before disbursement of funds, Fashola has started talking of toll gates on major roads so I am totally unsurprised by this development. Instead of tax rebates or incentives to electricity companies to distribute meters in record time, the buffoon backed their tariff increase. Meanwhile power production is declining everyday |

OlujobaSamuel:Ferma worked on that road before and while Ibese Cement was commissioned and just last year he reconstructed the road to an extent |

obailala: God bless you for this point. Government has been collecting this tax for years and they have not put it in good use. Let them leave it with an individual that'll do the right thing with it. I made reference to Rev oyedepo wanting to fix the otta idi-iroko road for years now. They didn't let him fix it because it's FG's property. Yet FG no gree fix the road since. modath I get your point but I don't think it's Dangote's responsibilities to fix the road. He's a Nigerian like you and i. He has been paying taxes so I believe he's entitled to a good road. And you see the deal between him and FG is based on that tax. It won't make sense for him to be paying tax and still fix the road. The road will be fixed more faster with Dangote in charge. |

obi58: Capital oil (Ifeanyi Ubah) and Folawiyo oil should also reconstruct Apapa road as CSR since their fuel tankers 'deliberately' damage the road. |

Papa alanto - sagamu road in Ogun State could be fix with this type of arrangement. The road as important as it is, is in a terrible state. |

montelik: Good a thing that he enjoyed pioneer status. I would have been surprised if he didn't. I don't agree that the new deal give him any incentive. The road still belong to the government. It is like govt borrowing from him now and instead of repaying him, they ask him to be using 30% of his future tax to liquidate the loan. |

DropShot: These are the kind of arguments I like to hear not some....name calling and corruption infested mind set. This is how to oppose a government and demand service. And number 3 edited....When will the project commence? |
Re: FEC Approves Tax Incentives For Dangote by obi58: 12:28am On May 19, 2016 |
2n2k: If not? Why not? Instead of raising tariffs and imposing toll gates which would impose a higher tax burden on the common man, why not impose an environmental levy on multinationals and conglomerates?? Why is government so afraid of progressive taxation? Why should the common man be made to always subdidize the cost of governance? Electricity tariffs up by 60%, fuel prices up 68%, stamp duties introduced whilst no one is talking about cash handling charges or even property taxes! Dangote given a 30% tax rebate for years for an action that he could easily have written off as a PR expense!!! Why is no one talking about the cabal in the power sector that has successfully lobbied Fashola and co to contravene a court order and raise tariffs whilst power generation plummets to record lows Where are the electricity meters already Are they being imported from Jupiter? |

[size=18pt]Buhari may be the President. But Dangote has been the MD-CEO of the Nigeria non-oil economy for the past 15 years or so. I swear[/size] |
Re: FEC Approves Tax Incentives For Dangote by DedeNkem: 1:40am On May 19, 2016 |
Corrupt government of the corrupt rich by the corrupt rich. Dangote has been using corrupt Nigerian governments to enrich himself. I don't blame him at all. Dangote is the most corrupt business man in Nigeria. He won't be as rich as he is today if he had all his businesses in the West because he will not bribe his way to amass illegal wealth. |
Re: FEC Approves Tax Incentives For Dangote by DedeNkem: 1:53am On May 19, 2016 |

Re: FEC Approves Tax Incentives For Dangote by Mayflowa(m): 3:06am On May 19, 2016 |
modath: Wen you pay your tax, government build facility and infrastructure for your biz use. You could assess more tax if you overburden facilities. It is not in organization place to build any public infrastructure for their use except during corporate social responsibility which is a choice So government has failed him by lettinghis business road deteriorate. He is only smart to use the same tax levies him to build the road himself |
Re: FEC Approves Tax Incentives For Dangote by ziontrain: 3:22am On May 19, 2016 |
I can't believe everyone is missing the BIG story here! The BIG story is not the Tax exemption. It is the fact that the road will be built using CEMENT i.e. CONCRETE as done in the U.S. and some other countries. Imagine what will happen to the demand for Cement if government approves road construction using Concrete in Nigeria - This could be a major game changer. This Dangote man is a genius! 1 Like |

ColeworldMD:How can Dangote be rated as the most powerful man ahead of the president? This got me laughing seriously. |
Re: FEC Approves Tax Incentives For Dangote by Bjergtrolde: 6:11am On May 19, 2016 |
modath: I think this deal means that he would withhold 30% of his usual 1% |

Mynd44: Not far from the truth, taxes in Nigeria is just synonymous with fetching water with a leaking container. |
Re: FEC Approves Tax Incentives For Dangote by modath(f): 6:17am On May 19, 2016 |
Phobia1: Since I'm saying what I don't know, can you please tell me when you the period you started plying that road? Also, like i put it to one poster, "is it possible for a road to have never been in good condition" & also ask, Do you know about FERMA? |

Stalwert: THIS IS SAD, A REALLY SAD DEVELOPMENT FOR MY COUNTRY!! WHATEVER HAPPENED TO COMANIES "SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY*?? ARE COMPANIES NOT SUPPOSED TO DO SOMETHING TO IMPACT THE LIFE OF THE HOST COMMUNITIES? ARE NOT THE HEAVY CEMENT LADEN TRUCKS PLYING TE ROADS THE MAJOR CAUSE OF THE DETERIORATION OF THE ROAD? WHY DIDN'T ZENITH BANK (JIM OVIA) ASK FOR TAX INCENTIVES FOR RECONSTRUCTING AJOSE ADEOGUN STREET IN VICTORIA ISLAND, LAGOS? TO CUT THE MATTER SHORT; ALIKO DANDOTE JUST GOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO AWARD HIM THE CONTRACT TO RECONSTRUCT THE ROAD LEADIND TO HIS CEMENT FACTORY. WHO IS FOOLING WHOM |
Re: FEC Approves Tax Incentives For Dangote by Highvotage: 7:04am On May 19, 2016 |
DropShot: Bros, have we being told about things like this in a normal contract awarding before? If it will benefit the masses rather than collecting tax and share it for election campaign, so be it. |
Re: FEC Approves Tax Incentives For Dangote by massiveaman: 7:57am On May 19, 2016 |
I travelled through that road last Saturday it was not funny! So i wonder why government should give him tax relief when it is was principally his companies heavy duty trucks that destroyed the road in the first instance. |
Re: FEC Approves Tax Incentives For Dangote by 41lady(m): 7:59am On May 19, 2016 |
That's good step in right direction but hope the company will do good work commensurate to the tax holiday. |
