The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), on Wednesday, revealed that it has spend over N1 billion to settle the nine per cent salary increment arrears agreed upon by the Federal ministry Industry, Trade and Investment, CAC and the staff Union since 2013.

In the past, specifically in 2016, the staff of the Commission had taken to the street several times demanding the payment of the nine per cent increment.

Speaking in Abuja at a press briefing, the acting registrar of CAC, Lady Azuka Azinge who took over the management of the Commission in 2017 stated that the “nine per cent salary increment arrears that arose from a tripartite agreement between the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, CAC and the Union, which was a major cause of perennial and industrial unrest before I assumed office has been settled.”

She said pensioners were been owed arrears of over N200 million, “all the outstanding pension arrears have been cleared. We do not own any pensioner at the moment,” she stated.

Celebrating two years as head of the agency, Azinge said under her watch, the commission has achieved the “complete decentralization of all state offices operations, to ensure that state offices operate at par with head office, and to enable customers pick up their certificates at any location of their choice.”

Speaking further, Lady Azuka explained that she had ensured a “Successful implementation of the Business Incentive Strategy (BIS) under which the cost of registration of business was reduced by 50 per cent to enable MSMEs formalize their businesses. A total of 232,004 Business Names were registered during the period,” she stated.

She said that to ensure active participation of companies in Nigerian business environment, the “Commission periodically sanction firms that are dormant over a long period of time” noting that earlier in the year, over 40, 000 were delisted by CAC.”

Lady Azuka Azinge took over the helms of affairs of the Commission as Acting Registrar-General on 9th October 2017 upon the expiration of the tenure of the erstwhile Registrar-General Mr Bello Mahmud and has remained in the acting capacity for two years now.
