Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has appealed to the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to simplify its registration process, especially for startups and small businesses that might struggle to pay registration fees.

The Governor stated this on Thursday during a courtesy call on him by the Registrar-General of CAC, Mr Hussaini Magaji at Alausa in Ikeja.

LEADERSHIP recalls The Corporate Affairs Commission earlier in May, announced that PoS agents of major fintech in Nigeria including OPay, Palmpay, and Moniepoint, among others, have been given a deadline of July 7, 2024, to register their business.

Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, suggested that the CAC could adopt a model similar to the state tax card, which provided a database for the government to manage infrastructure needs without burdening businesses.

While expressing the state government’s willingness to collaborate with CAC to ensure seamless registration of businesses in the state, he emphasised the need for more sensitisation to correct the perception that registering with the CAC was difficult.

In his remarks, the Registrar-General said the Commission is determined to enforce compliance in the fintech industry to make sure that all PoS operators get registered.

He noted that the PoS owners could register with CAC from anywhere in the country.

He also expressed the Commission’s willingness to collaborate with the state government to allow business owners to register with CAC through the state government at a consensual rate, as part of their support for micro, small, and medium enterprises.

Meanwhile, the Association of Mobile Money and Bank Agents in Nigeria (AMMBAN), had recently condemned the mandated registration, describing it as an attempt to tax more Nigerians to generate revenue for the government

The National General Secretary of the group, Oluwasegun Elegbede, in a statement, discountenanced the CAC’s claim of fighting PoS crime through registration, noting that the types of crimes being committed through PoS cannot be tackled with registration.

Although the CAC claimed it had an agreement with representatives of the PoS operators before fixing the timeline for the mandatory registration, mobile money agents in the statement said, “AMMBAN strongly disagrees with the recent directive by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) that all POS agents must register with it, regardless of their status as individuals or non-individuals.

“We believe this directive is unnecessary, contradictory to existing laws, and amounts to a mere revenue generation move to further tax hapless Nigerians.

“We disagree with the CAC’s claim that it wants to fight crimes in the agency banking business space through registration. We believe that the kind of crimes in the space are both human and technical, which CAC registration cannot fight,” the group added.
