CAC Adjusts Fees Amid Economic Realities

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has announced a revision of its service fees, set to take effect from August 15, 2025, in response to prevailing economic realities and increasing operational costs.

In a notice issued Tuesday, the Commission stated that the price adjustment is part of efforts to enhance service delivery, support ongoing digital transformation, and maintain prompt, technology-driven operations.

“The Commission wishes to inform the general public, esteemed customers, and all stakeholders that in the continued efforts to improve its service quality and delivery, it has become necessary to review certain service fees effective the 15th day of August, 2025,” the statement read.

The CAC emphasized that the new fees will remain modest and competitive, aiming to strengthen the integrity of the Nigerian Corporate Registry and boost investor confidence. It also noted that key stakeholders were engaged in the decision-making process.

Although detailed pricing has not yet been released, businesses and individuals are advised to prepare for the adjustment, with further communication expected in the coming weeks.

This move follows a recent trend among government agencies adjusting fees to reflect inflation and operational costs. Earlier this year, the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) increased its service charges after maintaining the same pricing structure for over a decade.

The CAC reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, accountability, and customer satisfaction as it works to build a more responsive regulatory environment.
