CAC sets Deadline to delist 100,000 Dormant Companies

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has announced plans to delist 100,000 companies from its register over prolonged inactivity and non-compliance with statutory requirements under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA).

The move forms part of the Commission’s broader effort to sanitise Nigeria’s corporate registry and ensure that only active and compliant entities remain in the system.

It also aligns with ongoing efforts to enhance transparency in company ownership and governance in line with anti-money laundering standards.

A public notice issued by the Commission said the affected companies have been identified as either not carrying on business, inactive for at least 10 years, or failing to meet regulatory obligations, particularly the annual filing of returns and disclosure of Persons with Significant Control (PSC).

The CAC has given a 90-day window from the date of publication for these companies to regularise their status.

However, to avoid being struck off, affected companies must promptly file all outstanding annual returns and send activation emails to activation@cac.gov.ng where applicable.

“It shall be unlawful for any company struck off the Register of Companies to continue carrying on business unless it is restored by an order of the Federal High Court,” the notice emphasised, reminding the public of a similar notice in July last year, where it delisted several companies in November.

The Commission emphasised that it invoked its powers under Section 692 (4) of CAMA 2020 to strike off companies that failed or refused to update their annual returns within the stipulated time frame. The delisted companies were deemed dissolved, effective from the date of publication.

“The General public may recall that the Commission issued a Notice of Intention to strike off the names of Companies which the Commission has reasonable cause to believe are not carrying out business or are otherwise dormant because of not filing Annual Returns for 10 years. Statutory Period of 90 days was given to such companies to file the requisite Annual Returns and send activation email to activation@cac.gov.ng,” the Commission stated at the time.

“Companies stricken off the register are deemed to have been dissolved from the date of publication. It is illegal to enter into any transaction or deal with a company that has been dissolved,” the statement added.

Annual returns is a mandatory yearly report that registered companies file with CAC, showing that a company is still active.

For companies, it is filed within 42 days after each anniversary of incorporation, and for Business Names, it is filed every year before June 30.

There is a Penalty for late filing, which is a sum plus the actual annual return fees and the risk of strike-off
