Acting Registrar-General of the commission, Lady Azuka Azinge, who dropped the hint at the just-concluded 58th Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), in Abuja, said the commission was also working towards self generation of certificates.
She said the commission was well re-positioned to provide excellent services by simplifying the processes of business registration and other services to the delight of stakeholders.
She pledged to continue to partner with key agencies of government to make Nigeria the preferred investment destination.
Azinge noted that with the introduction of the Companies Registration Portal (CRP) in February 2015, company registration activity had witnessed progressive increase and improvement.
She added that the feedback from the commission’s customers had facilitated the continuous improvement in service delivery even as the CRP is now user friendly as it affords customers online and real-time access to the services of the Commission from the comfort of their offices or homes using Remita e-payment platform.
Azinge further highlighted the reform initiatives introduced in the Commission to include automation of all state offices and closure of manual registration since April, 2018.
Others are upgrade of CRP to improve users experience as well as improvement of availability search approval from 12 hours to four hoursand review of publication of guidelines/checklists on the Commission’s website among others.
She said that the Commission had engaged on road show and open market sensitisation on registration of businesses, saying the ultimate goal of the exercise was to sensitise Medium and Small Scale Enterprises (MSME) on the need to formalise their businesses to enable them access Federal Government interventions and support just as the formalisation would bring the MSMEs within the tax net thus giving a boost to revenue generation.
