This one na serious matter wey Wole Elusakin, the CEO of Pomegranate Nigeria Limited, don raise hand for. E don dey complain say all the multiple taxation and levies wey dey ground for Naija dey cripple businesses. Omo, as e talk am for Abeokuta during dem management budget session last week, e make sense because e dey affect every small and big business wey dey hustle for dis country.
Elusakin yarn say dem dey force people wey carry truck to pay different levies for every local government and state wey dem pass through. E come dey wonder how Fed Government no fit just unify the taxes make everything balance. Na so dem dey make life hard for business owners, and at the end of the day, na we the consumers go still face the wahala of high prices.
“The more we pay, the more e dey affect the money wey customers go spend. Wetin we fit do be to pass the cost wey we incur to our clients, and dem go still put the burden for consumers. E no sweet at all,” he talk.
Elusakin no just stop there, e also dey hopeful about the new tax law wey Federal Government dey try implement. E talk say, “We dey expect dem to communicate the policy well, so we fit sabi how e go take affect our business. No be to just announce am anyhow.”
As dem dey plan for 2026, dem don choose the theme wey clear: “Impossible is Nothing.” Na so dem gather for Abeokuta to bond as team and recharge to achieve all dem targets. E come dey sweet as dem go visit places like Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Wildlife Park, and even climb Olumo Rock. Na real adventure be dis!
Dem even invite Odunlade Adekola, the popular Nollywood actor, to come inspire dem. Elusakin talk say, “If we fit catch small inspiration from him, e go help us boost morale for the new year.” Na serious play dem dey play oh!
Wole Elusakin also don remind all entrepreneurs say no make dem give up, even when 2025 hard no be small. E advise say make dem dey look for creative ways to survive. Plus, e don hint say Pomegranate Nigeria Ltd dey plan to launch PNLHub, wey go be Africa’s first cargo-hailing ride platform. Dem dey discuss make Odunlade fit feature for the launch campaign too!
E come dey interesting as Mrs. Dorothy Okunoye, the Head of Finance, emerge as the Manager of the Year. She talk say the award surprise am and she dey ginger to continue to dey deliver and even surpass wetin dem expect from her. Na so we go dey look forward for wetin dey come for this company, wey dey really ginger transformation for the business world.
