The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) on Tuesday urged Nigerians to disregard messages on free registration of business names and companies.

The Nigerian Companies Registry issued this warning in a statement on X (formerly Twitter) and said such messages would never come from them.

Please, disregard any SMS or WhatsApp message asking you to enrol for free CAC registration, as it is not from us! Thank you, CAC posted.

Meanwhile, the Lagos Office of the Corporate Affairs Commission played host on Monday to the Registrar General/CEO of the Commission, Hussaini Ishaq Magaji (SAN).

The Registrar General, who came to Lagos on an official engagement, decided to visit the state office of CAC in continuation of his interactive meetings with staff.
