CAC Delists 80,000 Dormant Companies Including Dunlop, Mistubishi… See Full List

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) says it has removed the names of companies that have not filed their annual reports in 10 years from its register.

On July 25, the commission announced plans to delist names of companies that have been dormant for a decade, giving a grace period of 90 days for corrective measures.

Giving updates on the development in a statement on Wednesday, the CAC said it has stricken off companies who had failed to update their annual reports.

The commission’s statement comes more than three months after it warned the concerned companies of the looming action.

“The General public may recall that the Commission issued Notice of Intention to strike off names of Companies which the Commission has reasonable cause to believe are not carrying out business or are otherwise dormant by reason of not filing Annual Returns for a period of 10 years,” CAC said.

“Statutory period of 90 days was given to such companies to file the requisite Annual Returns and send activation activation@cac.gov.ng. email to Companies that have complied with the advisory have been removed from the list.

CAC said companies removed from the register are deemed to have been dissolved from the date of publication.

The commission added that it is illegal to enter into any transaction or deal with a company that has been dissolved.
