Six Months Statement of account is the standard requirement.

Why not get Birth Certificate from NPC?

You have most of the documents to show your social and economic ties. Having said that, there is no guarantee about visas, but the better prepared you are, the better your chances of getting approved. For your financial accounts, make sure there is regular activity for the past 6 months. You must prove to the ECO that you will not become a financial burden to the UK Government or decide not to return to Nigeria. The more evidence they see that you will return back to Nigeria, the better your chances.

You don't have to open a salary account. Let your personal account act as your salary/personal account, but avoid money lodged in its entirety.

You'll need to submit the following documents, Original and Photocopies;

Marriage Cert. OK
Birth Cert. OK SWORN AFFIDAVIT
Company Documents CAC : OK, XYZ NIGERIA ENTERPRISES, Contract papers: OK, SUBCONTRACT, Invoices:OK, Receipts e.t.c: OK
Tax Clearance: WILL GET THAT
Evidence of VAT payment WILL GET THAT
Company statement of account: THREE MONTHS
Personal statement of account, showing your monthly salary
Company ID: OK
Introduction Letter on your letterhead: OK

You'll need to build a very strong Social, Family, and Economic Ties, therefore I'll advise you keep running your business account for now, keep all transaction documents, receipts, clearance certificate, VAT payment (Enterprise)
Your business account should be separated from your personal account which should also serve as your salary account.
As a business owner, it is also advisable your work out your Monthly wages which should be transferred from your Company's account to your personal/salary account at the end of every month.
