The Ogun State Internal Revenue Service (OGIRS) has praised Dangote Cement Ibese Plant for its exemplary tax compliance and recognized it as the highest tax-paying industrial company in the state. 

During a visit led by OGIRS’s Director of Field Operations, Mrs. Oluwaseun Olajube, the agency commended the company’s commitment to civic duties and corporate transparency. 

OGIRS also highlighted its dedication to partnering with industrial stakeholders to boost sustainable economic growth in Ogun State.

Impressed by Dangote Cement, Ibese Plant’s tax credentials, Mrs. Olajube expressed satisfaction with the Company and urged it not to drop its guard, while also seeking timely documentation as well as enhanced collaboration, particularly with the Yewa North Zonal Office of the Service.

She expressed the Agency’s commitment to strengthening alliance with the Ibese Plant in the spirit of transparency, accountability, and mutual benefit and reaffirmed its commitment to fostering stronger partnerships with key stakeholders in the state’s industrial sector.

The Revenue Service boss stated among others, “Dangote Cement Ibese Plant continues to demonstrate excellence in tax compliance, and we are proud to acknowledge their contribution to the economic development of our state.”

Receiving the OGIRS team, Dangote Cement Ibese Plant Director, Mr. Ayyagari Subbaraidu, expressed the management’s appreciation to the Revenue Agency for the commitment and recognition demonstrated with the visit. 

The recognition given to Dangote Cement, he said, was not just about numbers – “it is about leadership, integrity, and the positive impact of responsible corporate citizenship,”

The disclosure came in the wake of series of award recently bestowed on the Company and its subsidiariesas Nigeria’s best compliant taxpayer business organisation and FMDQ Gold award winner for being the most active corporate organisation in the foreign exchange market.
