I disagreed with this statement that people are registering free at CAC. I registered 2 companies during December 2020 and January 2021 all paid for including stampduty. That story is a big lied
It’s no lie bro! I registered in November at the ITF office in Ojota & even on the form it was boldly written there that it is for free. However, I am yet to be contacted for my certificate collection. You know how FG freebies can be… *Delay inclusive*
I am unable to get my certificate at the pick up office since 2019.
And it’s delaying so many things.
What?! Maybe that’s a summary of other states but the LAGOS AGGREGATOR was out of reach. Never picks calls or respond to messages and no email address was assigned to the individual. Very unprofessional.
I doubt if anyone will register in Lagos. The aggregator was not picking his calls, wasn’t responding to emails and there is no physical address. I really need this free CAC registration
I still payed to get to get CAC number don
That is a total fat lie. They probably registered for the ghosts cos I can’t even remember the number of time I called the Osun State focal person and send her text message to but it was totally ignored. If they really want to do that for us, they should just allow us to register online
Lies and shit…all accredited registrants contact numbers never when through ‘not reachable, doesn’t exist…one story or the other’. I finally sent a mail including an attached copy of the form I filled, and I never got a reply. This government is filled with lies and the real scammers. All of the Free shit was done for international clout. To feed the eyes of the international bodies watching. My tired is tired of Nigeria.
Not working (no reply)
I pray that the Lord help us in this country.Things are not done in the right way…The state controllers only put their mobile number but shit..Even in Ogun state all is scam and slot on political soccer’s.
Who and who are you deceiving.
When will our leaders have fear of God.
They have sold their heart to the devil.
The contact person for lagos I called the number several times is not reachable.
I called the one for Ogun state, it rings but no one pick it
I talked to someone she said they are not aware of it that maybe government give it to agent. i had to use money to register my sister business name.
Now they are claiming 100k business. Maybe their family members and relatives and colleagues every where.
Only God knows when we will have good leaders in this country.
It was just like nirsal loan man know man hmmmm…..
Weldon, but i registered my business since last year my money you people started your scam free registration but my problem now is that I can’t use the RC number because what is telling me is unverified whenever I try to use it even presently with the payroll of a thing, I am still facing the same challenge.
Thieves. I paid almost 20,000naira for my CAC registration. What is free in that? Criminals posing to be our Government.
So all this is a big scam ,n it’s really not free?
I did my the free registration since something like October Last year but nothing to show or report yet
Next level
How can one ascertain that his or her business name has been registered under the free CAC registration. I did mine since November last year and I have not seen or received any confirmation, just like others.
Go to the site type your business name on the search tan n click search. If you are registered u will see it there. I did. But yet to know how I can get my certificate.
Please is registration for free CAC still ongoing?
I have done the free business registration late last year 2020
Yet to hear or read from the agency as regards to the next line of action.
I was told before submission that the physical inspection of the address used shall be verified or phone call shall be made on each of the applicant.
I am still waiting for any means of feed back from CAC
Go to their website under “search” and search for your company name. I did mine and found that it was registered since 2nd of December.
I am still waiting for my registration name by CAC.
Is the free registration still on?

Initial activity for Economic development growth’s and improve GDP ,and opportunity for people’s start business , I will begin my registration and make business,
