Corporate Affairs Commission to meet customers, other stakeholders

The Corporate Affairs Commission has said customers and other
stakeholders will examine issues being encountered in the course of
company registration, among others, during its forthcoming
forum.

The CAC said in a statement that the second Customers’ Forum in
the first quarter of the year would take place on Thursday in
Ikeja, Lagos.

It said the first was held in Kano on March 15, 2018, with the
commission’s various stakeholders, including its accredited
customers.

The statement read in part, “The CAC Customers’ Forum is
interactive in nature and provides opportunity for the commission’s
esteemed accredited customers, stakeholders and members of the
public to directly engage top management of the commission on all
its services.

“It also serves as a veritable window for top management of the
commission to provide first-hand information on the commission’s
products and services. The forum is organised periodically in
furtherance of efforts to deepen communication with the
commission’s customers and other stakeholders.”

According to the statement, there will be presentation and
demonstration on frequently encountered issues at the forum and the
use of the companies’ registration portal, which enables customers
to register their businesses online.

It added, “Other benefits accruable to participants are
opportunity for instant registration at no extra charge. At the
last forum in Kano, instant registration took place and
certificates were generated and issued to the beneficiaries by the
acting registrar-general.

“Persons desirous of registering their businesses during the
programme are, therefore, enjoined to come along with means of
identification (national driver’s licence, national identity card,
travel passport or permanent voter’s card), two passport
photographs and payment cards, as payment for the commission
services is strictly online.”

According to the statement, expected at the forum, among others,
are legal practitioners, chartered accountants, chartered
secretaries, members of the Nigerian Association of Chambers of
Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture; Manufacturers
Association of Nigeria; entrepreneurs and members of the general
public.
