The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has released the latest list of companies being removed from the companies register for failing to file annual returns.
This comes after CAC’s notice in August 2023 notifying defaulting companies.
The list is now published on CAC’s website pursuant to Section 692 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020. CAC advised that struck off companies can no longer legally operate unless they apply to the Federal High Court to restore their names.
Companies claimimg they filed updated returns but still appear on the list have 30 days from publication to contact [[email protected]] CAC with evidence. The commission warned that striking off does not prevent it from enforcing liabilities against directors of affected companies.
