The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), says it is partnering with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) as part of its reform initiatives for effective service delivery.
The Registrar-General of CAC, Garba Abubakar, said this in a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja by Rasheed Mahe, CAC’s Head of Media Unit.
The Registrar-General, who spoke at the just concluded management retreat held in Kano, themed: “Corporate Affairs Commission: Consolidating on the Gains of Digital Transformation,” said the Commission’s partnership with NIMC has reached an advanced stage.
Abubakar said when implemented, the CAC might only require NIN enrolment numbers and not signatures to process registration applications as were obtainable in other jurisdictions.
He said the Commission is blessed with highly talented, committed and skilled personnel who worked outside office hours to approve applications from customers.
He said training and retraining of members of staff in all sectors of its operations will continue to receive priority attention to achieve its mandates.
The Registrar-General said the Commission would train 700 members of staff by the end of the year against the 583 trained in 2021.
Abubakar said more staff of the Commission would be empowered with working tools to be provided by the World Bank, which would enable them grant registration approvals even outside of working hours.
He enjoined staff to rededicate themselves to duty, especially those handling approvals to exercise caution to guard against avoidable errors.
Training and retraining of members of staff in all sectors of its operations will continue to receive priority attention to achieve its mandates.
Speaking on the new insolvency framework in pursuant to CAMA, 2020, the CAC boss enjoined legal practitioners to explore the enormous potential provided by the new legal arrangement.
In her vote of thanks, the Director, Customer Service, Mrs Ifeoma Isaac, lauded the reform initiatives being championed by the registrar-general.
The statement quoted Chairman of the Retreat Planning Committee, Duke Ukaga, as making a presentation on, “Update on the Implementation of the 2021 Management Retreat.”
The two-day event featured presentations of diverse topics, including the Current Innovations on the Companies Registration Portal (CRP); Ease of Doing Business: The Rwandan Experience; the Revised Operations Checklist; and an Introduction to the Insolvency Regulations, among others.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a 31-point Communiqué was issued at the end of the two-day retreat.
