Shell Nigeria has said it exclusively paid a total of $1.09billion in corporate taxes and royalties to the Nigerian government in 2023, through the operations of the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited and Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company of Nigeria Limited.

The company’s media relations manager, Abimbola Essien-Nelson, in a statement said similar payments made by the two companies in 2022 amounted to $1.36billion.

The figures, announced in the just published 2023 Shell Briefing Notes, showed that the SPDC paid $442m, while SNEPCo remitted $649m.

SPDC Managing Director and Country Chair, Shell Companies in Nigeria, Osagie Okunbor said the payments are Shell’s exclusive and do not include payments made by other partners.

“These payments are Shell exclusive and do not include those made by our partners,” said Okunbor.

Okunbor explained, “Shell companies in Nigeria will continue to contribute to the country’s economic growth through the revenue we generate and the employment opportunities we create by ing the development of local businesses”.

He added that Shell has invested in Nigeria for more than 60 years, adding that the Briefing Notes report on the progress of the businesses of Shell Companies in Nigeria – SPDC, SNEPCo, Shell Nigeria Gas and Daystar Power for 2023.

The reports, he said, showed that the companies continued to power progress, working closely with stakeholders and communities to promote socio-economic development and providing cost-effective and cleaner energy solutions.

“It is important to emphasise that Shell is not leaving Nigeria and will remain a major partner of the country’s energy sector through its deep-water and integrated gas businesses. Our collective focus remains on delivery of safe operations and care for our people,” Okunbor maintained.

All stolen! 1 billion dollars is nearly 1.5 trillion naira!

The money has gone into buying swanky watches for a certain politician's son.

At this point, anybody still ing APC should honestly get a cranium check cos this party is TERRIBLE. Terrible!!!

Many multinationals are trooping out of Nigeria, and this vegetable and his minions are still taxing the ones remaining, taxing citizens and making life unbearable for all.

I have a prayer point:
If you are part of the people who voted/forced/selected this man into power, may your life be like Nigeria is. Amen.

Giant of Africa with giant of negative problems

How can a president be using national budget to be sniffing cocaine from morning till morning no cease fire

Yet in the same 2023 they claimed there was no money and had to take loan

The question is where are all these type of monies going to, did the federal government make it public, would Nigerians have known if shell did not make it public?

Much money to the federal government yet nothing to show for it

Or did anyone in government declare it missing?

Is it not their duty to pay their taxes and royalties as at when due?

Is it not the role of the government to collect it?

Where is the scandal in this news report.

Baba God really blessed Nigeria with stupendous wealth, &no Natural Disasters.
The only "Natural Disaster" we have is BAD LEADERS.

Can you imagine!! Yet they still want to tax us to oblivion with COT and the rest.

...and where's the money?

Why are we still being taxed into poverty?

Politicians are getting richer while Nigerians are getting poorer

In this same Economy where so many people are complaining.
If Shell should pay US1 billion dollar as tax, we should imagine how much was their profit after tax in 1 calendar year.

Truly, Idea rule the world.

Just how the money was spent... Then watch how some I'diots foaming from the mouth will rise to defend their pay masters

Exactly! Tinubu is actually empty!

We don't feel the impact of oil money Nigeria is making.Instead,we are being overtaxed by Tinubu with our low minimum wage.
Nigeria is an opec country.Yet the citizens are living in penury.
