CAC Delists Over 400,000 Inactive Companies in 2025

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) says it delisted over 400,000 inactive and non-compliant companies from its official register in 2025.

Registrar-General of the CAC, Husseini Magaji spoke during a Walk organised by the commission over the weekend in Abuja.

He said in 2025 alone, “the commission de-registered over 400,000 companies,” in a bid to clean up its database from inactive and non-compliant entities.

The CAC boss said the action was also meant to safeguard the integrity of the national companies register.

“Today, CAC provides services anywhere, anytime and 24 hours a day. You can register your business from your room without coming to our offices,” Magaji said.

Magaji added that the CAC, in partnership with the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN), facilitated free business registrations for 250,000 entrepreneurs as part of its support for small businesses.
