Dangote Cement Plc has been recognised as the most tax-paying compliant organization in Nigeria for the second consecutive year by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
The award was presented during the FIRS Special Day at the 2025 Lagos International Trade Fair in Lagos.
The FIRS recognised Dangote Cement for its commitment to transparency, accountability, and timely tax compliance following a rigorous selection process.
In 2024, Dangote Group paid over N402 billion in taxes to the government, making it the highest taxpayer in the country.
Mojisola Ogunlade, Dangote Cement Group Head, Tax and Compliance, emphasised the company’s dedication to meeting compliance obligations and contributing to national growth.
“This recognition is a testament to our dedication to meeting all compliance obligations and contributing to national growth,” she stated.
Ogunlade noted that the recognition by FIRS of organisations that are contributing to the revenue base of the country through responsible tax compliance is a collaboration that would further improve the private organizations’ commitment to the performance of civic responsibility to the state and motivate others to do the same.
The FIRS Director of Taxpayers Service Department, Dr. Lovette Onanuga, highlighted the significance of the recognition ceremony, describing it as a moment designed to honor organisations whose consistency and cooperation continue to drive the nation’s revenue goals.
She noted that the FIRS relied on inputs from tax controllers to identify outstanding taxpayers, adding that compliance, timeliness, and professionalism were key criteria.
The recognition underscores Dangote Cement’s commitment to responsible tax practices and its contribution to Nigeria’s economic development.
