Nigeria’s Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), has said it will soon start making records of all companies, business names and incorporated trustees available electronically for customers to have access to online.

The agency’s Registrar-General, Alhaji Bello Mahmud said that “in order to ease post incorporation activities, safeguard the records and ensure the integrity of all information in the commission, rapid document imaging has been embarked upon through the conversion of our manual records to suitable electronic formats.”

According to him, customers will be able to access these records from the comfort of their offices and homes and pay the search fees, using electronic payment system, although he did not say when this would take effect. Mahmud also added that manual searches will be abolished.

This new development was announced as part of the Commission’s Investment Climate Reforms Programme to commence a 24-hour business incorporation service at its offices in Lagos and Abuja.

afam4eva: They should privatize CAC. They're not competent enough to handle it.

acidtalk: They said same thing about 7years ago.
Even when Jimoh Ibrahim took over some years back he said the same thing.

Nigerians never stops amazing us with their "promise and fail attitude".

jayjaybazz: i am yet to track the organisation that Jimoh Ibrahim was placed in charge that has not registered imrovement on the downward trend. Each one has packed up soon after he took over, Virgin Nigeria is the most recent, CAC on the other hand, has refused to die or go comatose yet and has also defied every move to improve. no thanks to the 'man' ...

executinal: Payment before one access company database?? So if i am dealing with fake company in naija and i needed to verify if the company exist or not online, i will have to make payment first?

ubong560: Their failure in any capacity shows we are naija. Abi no b so?

felucci: Too little, too late. When companies like Mocality Nigeria and Vconnect have already dominated their niche. Well, maybe they can just brag about being an official list of registered companies. I hope they do a good job with their web design.
