SABMiller Breweries Is Highest Indigenous Tax-Paying Company in Anambra State – StatiSense

StatiSense, a digital analytics firm has revealed that SABMiller Breweries is the highest indigenous tax-paying company in Anambra State. The post made on X came after the former Anambra State governor last Friday while addressing a gathering of Labour Party stalwarts and supporters at the All Saints Cathedral field, Onitsha, Anambra State, during the campaign flag-off of Labour Party candidate for the November 8, 2025 governorship election in the state, Dr George Moghalu, and his running mate stated the company is the highest tax payer. Obi said: “You can assess yourselves, governance for me is about compassion and empathy, caring for the lowly, petty traders. It is not these same poor masses you tax. Instead of ensuring they feed well and go to school. “I have governed Anambra State and I don’t boast of things I didn’t do, they are verifiable. “You might have heard that the only thing they said I did was to build brewery, but the same brewery gave employment to thousands of people. The brewery I built is the highest tax payer in the state and boosts the Internally Generated Revenue. “You can compare that with the Fun City you have today, which one is more profitable? We chose a female deputy governor because we want to care for families, she is not only popular, but organised,” Obi stated. Reacting, StatiSense listed top companies paying tax in Anambra. While the top 5 companies are not indigenous, SABMiller Breweries built by Peter Obi is the highest indigenous tax paying company in Anambra state. The company paid ₦319.52m to the government in 2024.
