The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has said it is working to extend its online services to post-registration services as soon as possible to make things easier and convenient for businesses.
The Acting Registrar-General, CAC, Azuka Azinge, said that the commission was committed to simplifying the process of business registration and other services.
She stated this in Lagos on Wednesday at the commission’s quarterly customers’ forum aimed at deepening its communication with customers and other stakeholders.
Azinge said the CAC, in line with its statutory mandate, had embarked upon several reform initiatives aimed at easing business registration in Nigeria.
She stated, “This explains the commission’s strategic policies like decentralisation of its operations; deployment of the company registration portal; and the integration of the company registration portal to the stamp duty portal of the Federal Inland Revenue Service to further ease the process of company registration.
“The goal is to ensure that every Nigerian has access to online registration, especially the micro, small and medium enterprises, to enable more businesses to come into the formal sector with all the attendant benefits. This is in tandem with the reform agenda of the Federal Government.”
Azinge added that the current administration’s agenda on ease of doing business had galvanised the commission to further improve on its registration and regulation services to businesses.
She said, “In order to further ease business registration, the commission has extended its working hours to 7pm from Monday to Friday in our Lagos (Alausa and Island) offices as well as six of our offices strategically located in each of the geo-political zones.
“The commission is further encouraging online registration services to make things easier for everybody, such that you can from the comfort of your homes and offices transact with the commission.”
According to her, registration services can now be done online in all the commission’s 36 state offices, as was promised in October last year.
“In order to be well armed to effectively deliver on its statutory mandate, the commission is working closely with National Assembly on the amendment of its enabling law, the Corporate and Allied Matters Act,” she added.
