Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has once again been recognized by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) as the Most Compliant Taxpayer in corporate Nigeria, securing the prestigious award for the third time in recent years and setting the national standard for responsible tax behaviour, reports ITREALMS.
This significant honour, ITREALMS gathered, comes under the FIRS Compliant Taxpayer Award and Recognition Programme, an initiative of the Taxpayer Services Department (TPSD), which is aimed at acknowledging organizations that demonstrate outstanding diligence and transparency in meeting their tax obligations.
ITREALMS also gathered that this year’s award reinforces NLNG’s exemplary compliance record, following its receipt of the same title in 2024, and further adds to the company’s earlier recognition as the Most Supportive Taxpayer in 2021, when NLNG was celebrated for its crucial role in helping FIRS exceed its national revenue collection targets.
The FIRS, in a statement, lauded NLNG for its consistent record of tax compliance, noting that the company’s transparency sets a powerful benchmark for others and contributes meaningfully to national revenue and crucial economic development.
The award was officially received on behalf of the company by representatives, which included Anne-Marie Palmer Ikuku, NLNG’s Manager, Corporate Communications and Public Affairs; Ibukun Oni, Head Tax Planning and Strategy; and Iwokiri Aprioku, Head Public Relations, during the FIRS Day at the 2025 LCCI Lagos International Trade Fair.
Speaking on the achievement, NLNG’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Philip Mshelbila, noted that the recognition is a reflection of the company’s long-standing culture of responsibility and its unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest levels of fiscal discipline.
“This recognition from the Federal Inland Revenue Service is deeply appreciated. It reflects the collective effort of our people, our Board, management and employees who remain committed to the highest standards of compliance and accountability. We take pride in contributing our fair share to national development, and we will continue to uphold practices that support Nigeria’s economic progress,” Mshelbila said.
A press statement available to ITREALMS, endorsed by the General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development, Sophia Horsfall, also quoted Mshelbila further noting that tax compliance remains a core part of NLNG’s values and is essential to its aspiration to be a globally competitive energy company driven by integrity, responsibility, and sustainable impact.
