*Says They Are In New Address Within Kano

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has debunked the information making the rounds that there is no Aggregator in Kano State to handle free business registration that the Commission promised Nigerians.

In a tweet on Saturday sighted by TheNigeriaLawyer (TNL), the Commission described the information as ‘false’ and urged the public to ignore same

“The attention of the Corporate Affairs Commission has been drawn to the report in the social media on the continous absence of the Aggregator for Kano State for the Federal Government’s free Business Name registration.

“The Commission wishes to advise members of the public to ignore the false information.” the statement reads in part.

According to the Commission, the “Aggregator has relocated to the Murtala Mohammed Library Complex located at No. 3094 Ahmadu Bello Way, Kano at the instance of the State Government, in order to accommodate the large number of persons turning out for the registration. Notice of the relocation has been duly posted at the former address.”

They advised all interested persons to visit the new address to get registered.

TNL recalls that A legal Practitioner, Ujong Okpa, Esq. has petitioned the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission over alleged illegal ways deplored by the CAC aggregators to collect money from Nigerians.

In a petition titled “REPORT OF CORRUPT AND ILLEGAL PRACTICES OF CAC MSMEs AGGREGATORS CONTRARY TO SECTION 8(1) OF THE ICPC ACT 2000″ Mr. Okpa said he refused to pay the mandated N700 by the Commission’s aggregators and captured it on tape.

“I am a legal practitioner who by virtue of his being a citizen of Nigeria is entitled to the free registration of 250,000 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises the Federal Government committed itself to register as part of the post Covid-19 pandemic survival intervention in support of business within the country.

“In view of this, the Federal Government through the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) employed 37 Aggregators across the various states of the country, including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, to avoid traffic on the CAC website and decongest the CAC offices across the nation. Of the 250,000 businesses earmarked to be registered, each state was allocated 6606 slots, except for Abia, Lagos and Kano that were allocated 7906, 9084 and 8406 slots respectively.” the petition partly reads
