Obasanjo Farms, Davido Music, Addide supermarket chain among 19,901 FIRS tax defaulters
Obasanjo Farms, owned by ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo; Davido Music Worldwide Ltd, owned by superstar musician David Adedeji Adeleke; popular supermarket chain, Addide, and a host of other publicly-quoted and privately-held businesses have been listed among the 19,901 consolidated tax defaulters published by the FIRS on its website.
The Federal Inland Revenue Service, whose Executive Chairman, Babatunde Fowler, had recently been queried for worsening tax generation, published the list of the consolidated tax defaulters that included an unwieldy 19,901 entities on its website.
Obasanjo Farms Ltd. is listed as No. 17705 on the list, Davido Music Worldwide as 2387, while five outlets of Addide supermarket chains located on Lagos mainland areas of Oko-Oba, Ekoro, Fagba and Itire occupy numbers 13137-13141.
The Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr. Abba Kyari, had queried Fowler over alleged discrepancies in tax collections from 2015 to 2018.
