A Federal High Court in Abuja orders the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to restore the registration of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN). According to reports, the court rules against the CAC’s deregistration and directs that NYCN’s registration certificate be reinstated. The decision also dissolves an interim management committee that had been put in place to run the organisation pending resolution of the dispute.
Vanguard reports that the court “faults” the CAC and issues restoration orders. Punch similarly reports that the court nullifies the deregistration, orders CAC to reinstate the NYCN registration, and dissolves the interim committee.
The two outlets agree the ruling comes from the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja and that it affects both NYCN’s corporate registration status and the composition of leadership management arrangements through the dissolution of the interim committee. The reports focus on the court’s directives; they do not provide details of arguments presented or timelines for compliance beyond the orders issued by the court.
