The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) announces that it will begin enforcement of statutory requirements for company business letters and related documents from 1 August 2026. According to reports, the CAC warns that companies and customers that do not comply will face sanctions provided for under the law. The move is linked to disclosure obligations under Nigeria’s Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020.
Across the outlets, the required information that must appear on official correspondence and documents includes a company’s registered name and registration number, as well as the registered office address shown in clear and legible characters. The CAC also requires that director details be included on such documents, including the present forename or initials and surname of every director. Where applicable, the notices also reference former forenames and surnames of directors and the nationality of any non-Nigerian directors.
The CAC urges registered companies to update their letterheads, invoices, quotations, and other official business documents before the deadline to avoid penalties. The enforcement start date is consistent across all reports.
