The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has commenced another round of striking off inactive companies from its register, with about 100,000 companies listed for possible delisting under the provisions of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), 2020.
In a public notice dated July 15, 2026, the Commission said the exercise is being carried out pursuant to Sections 692(3) and 692(4) of CAMA 2020. It advised the general public and affected companies to visit the CAC website to check the list of companies scheduled for removal.
According to the Commission, affected companies have been given 90 days to regularise their records by filing all outstanding Annual Returns, including Persons with Significant Control (PSC) and Beneficial Ownership information, as required by law.
The CAC stated that evidence of compliance should be forwarded to the Commission through its designated email address for struck-off companies within the stipulated period.
The Commission warned that companies that fail to comply with the directive within the 90-day window will be struck off the register without further notice.
The exercise, according to the CAC, is part of its ongoing efforts to maintain an accurate and up-to-date companies register in line with the provisions of the Companies and Allied Matters Act.
The Commission reaffirmed its commitment to delivering prompt and efficient services while ensuring compliance with corporate governance and statutory filing requirements.
The notice was signed by the Management of the Corporate Affairs Commission and takes effect from July 15, 2026.
