The Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, has deregistered over 300,000 dormant companies within a year to sanitise the nation’s corporate registration system. The Registrar General, Hussaini Ishaq Magaji, SAN, made this known in an exclusive interview with The Nation in Abuja. 'From October 16, 2023, when I assumed office, to date, we have witnessed an extraordinary level of deregistration. In December 2023 alone, we deregistered over 100,000 companies.
'By February 2024, another 100,000 companies were removed, and recently, we deregistered an additional 100,000,” Magaji said. The CAC boss noted that the deregistered entities had remained inactive, failing to file annual returns for over a decade. He further stated that some of the companies posed risks to the economy, as they could be used for fraudulent activities. “Our system is integrated with critical agencies, such as the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), security agencies, embassies, and banks. 'Once a company is marked as inactive on our portal, it cannot access banking services, process embassy documents, or engage in other operations,” Magaji said
