Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has commenced a new phase of striking off companies that have failed to comply with the provisions of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), 2020.
This was disclosed in a public notice issued by the Commission on Tuesday in Abuja.
According to the notice, the names of affected companies have been published on the Commission’s official website.
Companies found to be non-compliant must rectify their records within 90 days from the date of publication or risk being delisted.
The commission emphasised that compliance includes filing Annual Returns and disclosing information on Persons with Significant Control or Beneficial Ownership.
“The affected companies should note that any company that fails to comply with the provisions of the Act by filing its Annual Returns within 90 days of this publication shall be struck off the Register,” the notice stated.
It added that updating information on Persons with Significant Control or Beneficial Ownership was also mandatory within the same period to avoid delisting.
The CAC warned that any company removed from the register would lose its legal status and would no longer be permitted to operate in Nigeria.
