In a bid to sanitize operations and patronage at the Corporate Affairs Commission's offices nationwide, the nation's registrar of companies and allied matters has enforced strict compliance of the law that forbids unaccredited persons to engage in registration services on behalf of clients. This has long taken effect from March 1, 2013 as indicated on a notice conspiciously pasted at the agency's entrance.

In line with the above, only accredited persons and firms; directors/subscribers of a proposed company, and proprietors of a proposed business name can file registration at the CAC.

A visit to the Lagos office of the Federal Government agency to purchase 3 set of company registration forms for our clients today confirms the strict compliance of this policy as the ever-busy office saw only a number of persons engaging in business activities.
