Nigerian billionaire businesswoman and Vice Chairman of FAMFA Oil, Folorunsho Alakija, is dominating national business headlines after reports emerged that her oil firm is facing an ₦8.85 billion ($6.7 million) customs duty demand from the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS).
The financial claim relates to the operation of her company's private aircraft assets in Nigeria:
- Customs Audit Findings: Following a nationwide verification exercise targeting privately owned aircraft operating within Nigeria, the NCS uncovered irregularities regarding import documentation for a Bombardier private jet operated by FAMFA Oil.
- Temporary Importation Violations: Under Nigerian aviation and trade regulations, private jets entering under temporary import regimes must leave within designated timeframes or clear full duty assessments. Investigators alleged that FAMFA operated aircraft with expired, backdated, or missing import documents over an extended period.
- Multi-Million Dollar Fleet: Reports highlight that FAMFA Oil has operated a fleet of up to three Bombardier private jets valued at nearly $200 million, placing the $6.7 million demand at the center of growing discussions over private aviation oversight and revenue collection in Nigeria.
