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.
