According to a story by Encomium magazine, Bishop
David Oyedepo, Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Dr. Mike
Adenuga are among the top 10 Nigerian billionaires
who will pay hundreds of millions of naira annually
as luxury tax due to the imposition of a whooping
$4,000 luxury tax by Aviation Ministry on private jet

Some of these super rich Nigerians make use of
their jets 3/4 times in a week either within or
outside Nigeria and for every trip, it's a cool $4, 000

From Encomium magazine
According to our sources, among the four jets
owned by Bishop Oyedepo (Gulfstream V and G550,
Bombardier and Gulfstream G430), he uses three
regularly personally and for his missionary work.
Thus, his luxury tax annually will be an average of
N399 million. Alhaji Aliko Dangote who has three
private jets in his hanger will also pay an average of
N399 million per annum. Dr. Mike Adenuga, Jnr,
whose Falcon 7x and Bombardier jet are used for
personal and business purpose should pay an
average of N266 million. Governor Rotimi Amaechi
and his Akwa Ibom counterpart, Governor Godswill
Akpabio would shell out an average of N166.4
million annually. Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor falls into the
same category of N166.4 million naira payer.
Meanwhile, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, Jide
Omokorie and Ifeanyi Ubah would pay an average of
N133 million annually, while Jimoh Ibrahim falls
within the N100 million category. Furthermore, the
richest woman in Nigeria, Folorunsho Alakija would
spend N66 million on luxury tax.
Findings by Encomium Weekly revealed that the top
10 private jet owners who would cough millions
annually on the new luxury tax are below.
The clash of the titans between the Federal
Government and private jet owners reached a
crescendo with the imposition of the $4,000 luxury
tax on private jet owners and operators per
departure. A memo was sent to all private jet
operators stating that Nigerian registered private
jets would henceforth pay $3,000 for every
departure, while foreign registered private jets
would pay $4,000.
