The National Revenue Authority (NRA) on Monday, August 25, 2025, officially shut down the operations of Dangote Cement (SL) Ltd over an unpaid Freight Levy liability amounting to $653,300.
According to the NRA, the debt has been outstanding since 2020, prompting the Non-Tax Revenue Department, led by Commissioner Tom Vandy, together with the Deputy Commissioner of NTR and the Compliance Unit of the Domestic Tax Department, to enforce the closure.
The enforcement team sealed off the company’s Administrative Office, Control Room and Production Room, effectively halting all activities and barring access to the premises.
The Authority emphasized that the action reflects its firm stance on ensuring tax and levy compliance, while also recovering long-overdue revenues owed to the state.
