The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has announced its plan to remove companies that have not submitted their annual reports for the past 10 years from its register.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the CAC gave these companies a 90-day window to file their reports.
“This notice informs the public that, under Section 692 (3) (4) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act No. 3 of 2020, the commission intends to strike off defunct or dormant companies that have failed to file Annual Returns for a decade,” the statement reads.
Affected companies have 90 days from the publication date to submit all overdue annual returns and confirm via email to activation@cac.gov.ng to avoid being delisted.
The commission cautioned that operating a business under a delisted company name is illegal, as the organization is considered dissolved.
