Registrar-General of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), Bello
Mahmud on Thursday said the commission had taken steps to eliminate bottlenecks
associated with registering a business.
“We have reduced the cost
of registering a business by 50 percent. You don’t need a lawyer to register
your business for you anymore. You can now do it yourself. The process is easy
now,” he said.
Speaking at the second presidential economic communication
workshop in Abuja, Mahmud said this was with a view to creating an enabling
environment for businesses to thrive.
He also revealed that the cost of
registering a business had been reduced by 50 percent.
”You can now register your business anywhere at our offices in
Lagos, Kano and Enugu.”
Earlier, Jumoke Oduwole, senior special assistant to the president
on industry, trade and investment, outlined measures the government was to
taking to create investment opportunities for the country.
According to her, one of the measures is reducing the strictures
to getting a Nigerian visa.
She said President Muhammadu Buhari was concerned about the
ranking of Nigeria as one of the most difficult countries to do business; hence
he has set up a committee to come up with ways of making Nigeria business
friendly.
