The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has announced that it will begin strict enforcement of statutory requirements governing the contents of company business letters from August 1, 2026, warning that companies that fail to comply with the regulations will face sanctions.
The commission made this known in a public notice issued by its management and shared on its official X account on Wednesday.
It said the enforcement is in line with the provisions of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020, which outlines the information companies must display on official business documents.

According to the commission, all company business letters, including invoices, quotations, official correspondence, receipts and other business documents, must clearly show the company’s registered name, registration number, and the present forenames or initials and surnames of its directors.
Companies are also required to indicate any former forenames and surnames of directors, as well as the nationality of every non-Nigerian director.
The CAC stated that the enforcement will cover the full implementation of Sections 304(1), 304(2) and 304(1)(c) of the Act. It urged all companies registered under the law to review their business documents and ensure they meet the required standards before the deadline.
The commission said the move is intended to strengthen transparency, improve corporate accountability and promote compliance with Nigeria’s corporate regulatory framework while building a more responsive business environment.
