Bishop David Oyedepo, Alhaji Aliko Dangote and
Dr. Mike Adenuga are among the top 10 wealthy Nigerians who
will shell out hundreds of millions annually as luxury tax due to
the imposition of a whooping $4,000 luxury tax by Aviation
Ministry on private jet owners and operators per departure.

Information available to ENCOMIUM Weekly state that most of
these super rich Nigerians make use of their toys at last thrice
in a week either within or outside Nigeria. Some of them use
them five times in a week.Those who have more than one are
mostly affected.

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.
