First, financial penalties accrue against both the company and each director personally. Second, the CAC may send a strike-off notice if default continues for a consecutive period of 10 years. Third, if the company does not respond to the notice within the specified period (currently 90 days), the CAC publishes in the Federal Gazette and strikes the company off the register. Once struck off, the company ceases to exist legally, cannot operate, enter contracts, maintain bank accounts, or obtain a Tax Clearance Certificate. Restoration requires a Federal High Court order.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What are the current CAC penalties for late filing of annual returns in Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Under Section 415 of CAMA 2020 and the Companies Regulations 2021, penalties for late filing of annual returns in Nigeria include an initial fine of ₦50,000 for the company, plus a daily continuing penalty of ₦10,000 for each day the default continues against both the company and each director or officer personally. The CAC has confirmed that from January 1, 2024, it is applying the full penalties prescribed by the Companies Regulations 2021 against both companies and their individual directors and officers. The per-year flat penalty is approximately ₦5,000 per year for small companies and ₦10,000 per year for other private companies. Note: the daily penalty of up to ₦1,000 per day per person is currently suspended by the CAC; the flat annual penalty structure is what is actively enforced as of mid-2026.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does it mean when the CAC strikes off a company in Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"When the CAC strikes a company off the register in Nigeria under Section 692 of CAMA 2020, the company is removed from the official corporate register and legally ceases to exist as an entity. This means the company can no longer lawfully operate, sign contracts, open or access bank accounts, employ staff, or bid for government contracts. Under CAMA 2020, the assets of a struck-off company technically vest in the Federal Government of Nigeria. Directors also lose the limited liability protection the corporate structure provided them. The company name becomes available for any other person to register. Restoration is possible but requires a Federal High Court order, which is significantly more expensive and time-consuming than maintaining compliance through routine annual return filings.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How many companies has the CAC struck off in Nigeria in 2025 and 2026?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"According to reporting by Nairametrics and Tribune Online dated July 16, 2026, CAC Registrar-General Hussaini Magaji disclosed by February 2026 that the CAC had already struck off more than 400,000 companies in 2025 through successive batches of deregistration exercises. On July 15, 2026, the CAC published notice of Batch 6 of its deregistration campaign, placing another 100,000 companies at risk and giving them 90 days to regularise their records by filing outstanding annual returns and submitting Persons with Significant Control information. These figures confirm that the CAC is treating non-compliance with unprecedented seriousness.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Are company directors personally liable for CAC annual return penalties in Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, and this is one of the most significant changes introduced by CAMA 2020. The Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020 explicitly provides that penalties for failure to file annual returns apply against the company AND each of its directors and officers personally. This means that a director cannot use the limited liability of the company as a shield against CAC compliance penalties. The CAC confirmed in its November 2023 public notice that from January 1, 2024, it would begin recovering penalties against company directors and officers individually in addition to the company itself. A director could personally face substantial financial penalties for every year of default, regardless of whether they were actively involved in the company's operations.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"When is the deadline to file CAC annual returns for Nigerian companies in 2026?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Under Section 421(1) of CAMA 2020, private companies must file annual returns within 42 days after the anniversary of their incorporation. For companies with a December 31 financial year-end, the 2026 deadline for filing annual returns for the year ending December 31, 2025, is June 30, 2026, consistent with the CAMA 2020 requirement to file within six months of the end of the financial year. Small companies, as defined under CAMA 2020, are exempt from filing for the first two years after incorporation and begin filing from their third year. Companies with different financial year-ends have proportionally different deadlines. Always confirm current deadlines on the official CAC portal at cac.gov.ng.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the process for restoring a company struck off the CAC register in Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Restoration of a company struck off the CAC register in Nigeria requires a court-supervised process under Section 692 of CAMA 2020. The steps are: 1. Instruct a lawyer to file an originating motion at the Federal High Court seeking restoration, using Form CAC 13. 2. Serve the application on the CAC. 3. Attend court hearing; the court may grant restoration if satisfied the company was actively operating at the time of striking off or if restoration is fair and just. 4. Obtain a certified copy of the court order. 5. Submit the court order to the CAC with administrative relisting fees of approximately ₦25,000 for private companies and ₦50,000 for companies limited by guarantee. 6. File all outstanding annual returns and pay all accumulated penalties. 7. Apply for activation of the company's status. The application must be made within 20 years of the striking-off for most cases, or within 10 years if the company was struck off for non-compliance over 10 consecutive years.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How much does it cost to restore a struck-off company in Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The total cost to restore a struck-off company in Nigeria depends on how long the company was inactive and how many years of annual returns are outstanding. As a guide for 2025-2026: Legal fees for Federal High Court application range from ₦200,000 to ₦500,000 depending on the complexity and the law firm engaged. CAC administrative relisting fees are approximately ₦25,000 for private companies. All outstanding annual returns must be paid (approximately ₦5,000 to ₦10,000 per year depending on company size, multiplied by all years in default). The full timeline for restoration is typically 6 to 12 months. The combined cost of restoration far exceeds the cost of maintaining annual return compliance throughout the company's life, which is why CAC and compliance experts consistently advise that timely filing is the rational financial choice.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can the CAC assets of a struck-off company be recovered in Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Under CAMA 2020, when a company is struck off the register, its assets technically vest in the Federal Government of Nigeria. However, restoration of the company by court order has the legal effect of treating the company as if it had never been struck off, which effectively restores legal ownership of assets to the company and its shareholders. This is why time matters: the longer a struck-off company remains off the register, the greater the practical difficulty of recovering and establishing ownership of assets. Court restoration, while expensive and time-consuming, is the mechanism that reverses the vesting of assets in the government.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the difference between annual returns and annual financial statements in Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"These are two distinct obligations often confused by Nigerian business owners. Annual returns (filed with CAC) update the Corporate Affairs Commission on the company's corporate structure — directors, shareholders, registered address, share capital, and Persons with Significant Control. They are due within 42 days after the incorporation anniversary. Annual financial statements (also relevant to CAC for some company types) are primarily for shareholders and must comply with accounting standards. Annual tax returns (filed with FIRS) report taxable income and are due within six months of the financial year-end. All three are separate obligations with separate deadlines, separate regulatory bodies, and separate penalties. Filing one does not satisfy the others.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the CAC Batch 6 deregistration exercise in July 2026?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"On July 15, 2026, the Corporate Affairs Commission published notice of Batch 6 of its ongoing company deregistration campaign, carried out under Section 692(3) and (4) of CAMA 2020. This batch targets approximately 100,000 companies that have persistently failed to file annual returns and submit Persons with Significant Control information. The affected companies have 90 days from the notice date to regularise their records by filing all outstanding annual returns and PSC submissions. If they fail to comply within this period, the CAC will publish in the Federal Gazette and strike them off the register. This is the sixth batch in a campaign that has already resulted in more than 400,000 companies being struck off in 2025.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What happens to a company's bank account when it is struck off the CAC register?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Once a company is struck off the CAC register, it legally ceases to exist. A struck-off company cannot legally operate or access its bank accounts because the legal entity that owns those accounts no longer formally exists in law. Banks in Nigeria increasingly check CAC status, particularly as the CAC integrates its database with FIRS and NIMC. A company that is discovered to be struck off may find its bank accounts frozen or restricted, or may encounter difficulties conducting transactions in the company name. Directors who continue to operate accounts in the name of a struck-off company risk personal legal liability. Restoration by court order is the only pathway to lawfully restoring the ability to conduct banking operations in the company's name.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is a small company under CAMA 2020 and how does that affect annual return filing?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Under Section 394 of CAMA 2020, a company qualifies as a 'small company' if it satisfies at least two of these criteria: annual turnover of ₦120 million or less; net assets of ₦60 million or less; has fewer than 50 employees; and is not a holding company or subsidiary of a public company. Small companies benefit from simplified annual return requirements and reduced filing fees compared to other private companies. Small companies also begin filing annual returns from their third year after incorporation, not their first year. The penalty rate for small companies is also lower than for other private companies. However, the obligation to file exists and the consequences of prolonged non-filing — including striking off — apply equally to small companies.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is Persons with Significant Control (PSC) and why is it now required with annual returns?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Persons with Significant Control (PSC), also called beneficial ownership information, is a requirement introduced under CAMA 2020. A Person with Significant Control is any natural person who ultimately owns or controls a company, directly or indirectly, through ownership of 5% or more of its shares or voting rights, or through the right to appoint or remove a majority of the board. Companies are required to maintain a PSC Register and submit this information to the CAC under Sections 119 and 791 of CAMA 2020 and the PSC Regulations 2022. The CAC's current deregistration campaign specifically requires affected companies to file both outstanding annual returns AND PSC information. Failure to maintain a PSC register is itself an offense, independent of the annual returns obligation.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How does a company check if it has been struck off or is on the CAC deregistration list?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"To check whether your company has been struck off or is on the CAC's current deregistration list, visit the official CAC portal at cac.gov.ng. The CAC publishes lists of companies targeted for striking off on its official website. You can also check your company's compliance status and filing history by logging into your company's account on the CAC integrated portal at icrp.cac.gov.ng using the email address and password used during registration. If you have lost access to your login credentials, contact a registered CAC agent or law firm to help recover access. Additionally, watch for publication of your company's name in national newspapers, which is a step in the formal striking-off process.\"}\n  ]\n}\n\u003C\/script\u003E\n\n\u003C!-- SCHEMA 3 —

The clients and counterparties who dealt with them may have grounds to hold the director personally responsible, as there is no corporate shield for a company that no longer exists in law. This is why checking CAC status annually — not just at incorporation — is a critical director responsibility.\u003C\/p\u003E\n  \u003Cp class=\"dyk-source\"\u003E📎 Sources: LexPraxis Solicitors, \"How to Relist a Struck Off Company in Nigeria,\" June 2025 | Qrafteq, \"CAC Penalties Nigeria 2025 Guide,\" November 2025\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n\u003C!-- SECTION 8 — HOW TO REGULARISE NOW --\u003E\n\u003Ch2 id=\"section8\" style=\"color:#000000!important;font-weight:700;font-size:1.5rem;margin:2.5rem 0 1rem 0;\"\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"drng-h2-float\"\u003E🛠️\u003C\/span\u003E Section 8: How to Regularise Now — If You Are Behind But Not Yet Struck Off\u003C\/h2\u003E\n\n\u003Cp style=\"color:#1a1a1a!important;line-height:1.9;margin-bottom:1rem;\"\u003EIf your company is behind on annual returns but has not yet been struck off — or is on the Batch 6 list with the 90-day window still open — this section covers the exact process to regularise your status.

Many Nigerian business owners who have allowed annual returns to accumulate for years face penalty bills running into hundreds of thousands of naira — against them personally, not just their companies. At scale, a director of a company 10 years in default faces personal penalty exposure of ₦100,000+ in flat annual penalties alone, before any initial or daily penalties are calculated. For companies with multiple directors, the total system liability multiplies. Meanwhile, the annual cost of compliance is ₦5,000–₦35,000 — a straightforward business expense that prevents every dollar of this exposure.\u003C\/p\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n  \u003Cdiv class=\"rwi-layer rwi-daily\"\u003E\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"rwi-label\"\u003E🗓️ The Operational Cost\u003C\/div\u003E\n    \u003Cp\u003EFor a Nigerian business actively competing for government contracts, a struck-off CAC status is effectively a permanent disqualification — because government contractors require evidence of active corporate status plus a Tax Clearance Certificate, and a struck-off company cannot obtain either. Similarly, any bank relationship involving significant due diligence — new account opening, loan applications, facilities review — will surface a struck-off status. The company's ability to operate at a professional level in the Nigerian formal economy depends entirely on its CAC compliance status. These operational costs of non-compliance are not theoretical. They are the reason SMEs in Nigeria systematically lose out on contracts and financing they would otherwise qualify for.\u003C\/p\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n  \u003Cdiv class=\"rwi-layer rwi-biz\"\u003E\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"rwi-label\"\u003E🏪 The Reputational Cost\u003C\/div\u003E\n    \u003Cp\u003EA company that is publicly listed on the CAC's deregistration target list — which the CAC publishes on its website and in national newspapers — suffers reputational damage that compliance cannot undo quickly. Suppliers, customers, partners, and employees who discover a company is on the CAC striking-off list may immediately lose confidence. The publication of company names in the Federal Gazette as struck off or targeted for striking off is, in effect, a public announcement of non-compliance that any counterparty doing basic due diligence will find. In 2026, with CAC, FIRS, and NIMC databases integrated, this due diligence is both easier and more automatic than it has ever been.\u003C\/p\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n  \u003Cdiv class=\"rwi-layer rwi-systemic\"\u003E\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"rwi-label\"\u003E🌍 The Structural Significance\u003C\/div\u003E\n    \u003Cp\u003EThe CAC's deregistration campaign — six batches, 500,000+ companies affected — is not punitive for its own sake. The stated purpose, confirmed in CAC communications, is to ensure the Nigerian corporate register contains only companies that are genuinely active and compliant. This serves the entire business ecosystem: it makes due diligence more reliable, the register more credible to international investors and partners, and corporate governance more meaningful. For every Nigerian company that maintains compliance, the corporate register becomes more trustworthy as an instrument. The short-term cost of compliance is the long-term investment in a corporate environment where being registered in Nigeria actually means something.\u003C\/p\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n  \u003Cdiv class=\"rwi-action\"\u003E\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"rwi-label\"\u003E✅ The One Action That Changes Everything\u003C\/div\u003E\n    \u003Cp style=\"color:#1a1a1a!important;font-weight:600;margin-bottom:.5rem;\"\u003ELog into icrp.cac.gov.ng today and check your company's compliance status.

The CAC's integration with FIRS and NIMC in 2026 removes the practical ability to operate invisibly. The combination of systematic enforcement, personal director liability, and a significantly more expensive restoration process than compliance creates a straightforward calculation: file on time, every time.\u003C\/p\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n  \u003Cdiv style=\"background:#f0f4f8!important;padding:1.2rem;border-radius:8px;margin-bottom:1.5rem;\"\u003E\n    \u003Ch4 style=\"color:#000000!important;font-weight:600;margin-bottom:.7rem;\"\u003E💡 What This Means for Nigerian Law Firms and Accountants\u003C\/h4\u003E\n    \u003Cp style=\"color:#1a1a1a!important;line-height:1.8;margin:0;\"\u003EThe CAC's ongoing deregistration campaign has created significant demand for company restoration services among Nigerian law firms.

A National Fisheries Bill and Fisheries Policy are separate. What matters for compliance: the CAC's AI-assisted portal, which can issue a certificate of incorporation in under 30 minutes, is part of the same modernisation drive that makes non-compliance tracking more systematic. As the register becomes more automated and more integrated with FIRS and NIMC, the practical consequence of non-compliance will become more immediate — less dependent on CAC manually identifying defaulters, more dependent on automated system flags that trigger enforcement. 2026 is the beginning of an era in which Nigerian corporate compliance is automated, cross-verified, and enforced at scale. The businesses that adapt to this new environment will operate with a structural advantage over those that do not.\u003C\/p\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n\u003C!-- DISCLOSURE (MAIN — DIFFERENT FROM TOP) --\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"card cy\" style=\"padding:1.5rem 2rem;margin:2rem 0;\"\u003E\n  \u003Cp style=\"color:#000000!important;font-weight:700;margin-bottom:.5rem;\"\u003E📋 Editorial Disclosure\u003C\/p\u003E\n  \u003Cp style=\"color:#1a1a1a!important;line-height:1.8;margin:0;\"\u003EThis article is independently written by Samson Ese at Daily Reality NG.

2020. First, financial penalties accrue against both the company and each director personally. Second, the CAC may send a strike-off notice if default continues for 10 consecutive years. Third, if the company does not respond within the specified period, the CAC publishes in the Federal Gazette and strikes the company off the register. Once struck off, the company ceases to exist legally, cannot operate, enter contracts, maintain bank accounts, or obtain a Tax Clearance Certificate.

The CAC also enforces a flat annual penalty of approximately ₦5,000 per year for small companies and ₦10,000 per year for other private companies. The daily penalty is currently suspended by the CAC; the flat annual penalty structure is actively enforced. From January 1, 2024, the CAC applies the full penalty schedule of the Companies Regulations 2021 against companies and directors, as confirmed in the CAC's November 2023 official public notice.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n  \u003Cdetails\u003E\u003Csummary\u003EWhat does it mean when the CAC strikes off a company in Nigeria?\u003C\/summary\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen the CAC strikes a company off the register under Section 692 of CAMA 2020, the company is removed from the official corporate register and legally ceases to exist.

Assets of the struck-off company technically vest in the Federal Government of Nigeria. Directors lose their limited liability protection. The company name becomes available for any other person to register. Restoration requires a Federal High Court order — typically 6 to 12 months and ₦200,000 to ₦500,000 in legal fees, plus all outstanding penalties.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n  \u003Cdetails\u003E\u003Csummary\u003EHow many companies has the CAC struck off in Nigeria in 2025 and 2026?\u003C\/summary\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAccording to Nairametrics and Tribune Online reporting on July 16, 2026, CAC Registrar-General Hussaini Magaji disclosed by February 2026 that more than 400,000 companies had been struck off in 2025 through successive deregistration batches. On July 15, 2026, the CAC published Batch 6 notice placing another 100,000 companies at risk with a 90-day compliance window. These figures confirm the CAC is treating non-compliance with unprecedented systematic seriousness.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n  \u003Cdetails\u003E\u003Csummary\u003EAre company directors personally liable for CAC annual return penalties in Nigeria?\u003C\/summary\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYes. CAMA 2020 explicitly provides that penalties for failure to file annual returns apply against the company AND each of its directors and officers in default personally. The CAC confirmed in its November 2023 public notice that from January 1, 2024, it would begin recovering penalties against company directors and officers individually. The corporate veil does not shield directors from CAC compliance penalties — this is one of the most significant changes under CAMA 2020 compared to the previous regime.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n  \u003Cdetails\u003E\u003Csummary\u003EWhen is the deadline to file CAC annual returns for Nigerian companies in 2026?\u003C\/summary\u003E\u003Cp\u003EUnder Section 421(1) of CAMA 2020, private companies must file annual returns within 42 days after the anniversary of their incorporation. For companies with a December 31 financial year-end, the 2026 deadline for returns covering the year ending December 31, 2025, is June 30, 2026. Small companies are exempt for the first two years after incorporation. Always confirm current deadlines on the official CAC portal at cac.gov.ng, as operational guidance can vary.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n  \u003Cdetails\u003E\u003Csummary\u003EWhat is the process for restoring a company struck off the CAC register in Nigeria?\u003C\/summary\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERestoration requires a court process under Section 692 of CAMA 2020. Steps include: engaging a solicitor to file an originating motion at the Federal High Court using Form CAC 13; serving the application on the CAC; attending the court hearing where the court considers whether restoration is just and fair or whether the company was active at the time of striking off; obtaining a certified copy of the court order; delivering the order to the CAC with administrative relisting fees of approximately ₦25,000 for private companies; filing all outstanding annual returns and paying all penalties; and applying for activation of company status. The timeline is typically 6 to 12 months from filing the court application.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n  \u003Cdetails\u003E\u003Csummary\u003EHow much does it cost to restore a struck-off company in Nigeria?\u003C\/summary\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETotal costs include: legal fees for Federal High Court application (₦200,000–₦500,000 depending on complexity and law firm); CAC administrative relisting fees (approximately ₦25,000 for private companies); all outstanding annual return filing fees and penalties for every year in default; and any additional professional fees for compliance management after restoration. The combined cost is typically ₦425,000–₦750,000 minimum for a company struck off for 10 years, not including the opportunity costs of 6 to 12 months without a legal entity. Annual compliance costs approximately ₦5,000–₦35,000 per year — making restoration approximately 10 to 100 times more expensive than maintaining compliance.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n  \u003Cdetails\u003E\u003Csummary\u003ECan the CAC assets of a struck-off company be recovered in Nigeria?\u003C\/summary\u003E\u003Cp\u003EUnder CAMA 2020, a struck-off company's assets technically vest in the Federal Government of Nigeria. However, restoration of the company by Federal High Court order has the legal effect of treating the company as if it had never been struck off, which effectively restores legal ownership of assets to the company and its shareholders. This is why time matters: the longer a company remains struck off, the greater the practical difficulty of recovering assets. Court restoration is the mechanism that reverses the vesting of assets in the government.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n  \u003Cdetails\u003E\u003Csummary\u003EWhat is the difference between annual returns and annual financial statements in Nigeria?\u003C\/summary\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThese are two distinct obligations. Annual returns (filed with CAC) update the Corporate Affairs Commission on the company's corporate structure — directors, shareholders, registered address, share capital, and Persons with Significant Control. They are due within 42 days after the incorporation anniversary. Annual financial statements are primarily for shareholders and must comply with accounting standards. Annual tax returns (filed with FIRS) report taxable income and are due within six months of the financial year-end. Filing one does not satisfy the others. All three are separate obligations with separate deadlines, regulatory bodies, and penalties.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n  \u003Cdetails\u003E\u003Csummary\u003EWhat is the CAC Batch 6 deregistration exercise in July 2026?\u003C\/summary\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOn July 15, 2026, the Corporate Affairs Commission published notice of Batch 6 of its ongoing deregistration campaign under Sections 692(3) and (4) of CAMA 2020. This batch targets approximately 100,000 companies that have persistently failed to file annual returns and submit Persons with Significant Control information. Affected companies have 90 days from the notice date to regularise their records. If they fail to comply, the CAC will publish in the Federal Gazette and strike them off. This is the sixth batch in a campaign that has already struck off more than 400,000 companies in 2025.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n  \u003Cdetails\u003E\u003Csummary\u003EWhat happens to a company's bank account when it is struck off the CAC register?\u003C\/summary\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOnce a company is struck off, it legally ceases to exist. A struck-off company cannot legally access its bank accounts. Banks increasingly check CAC status — as the CAC database is now integrated with FIRS and NIMC, cross-verification is more automatic than before. A company discovered to be struck off may find its accounts frozen or restricted, or encounter difficulties conducting transactions. Directors who continue to operate accounts in the name of a struck-off company risk personal legal liability. Restoration by court order is the only pathway to restoring lawful banking operations in the company's name.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n  \u003Cdetails\u003E\u003Csummary\u003EWhat is a small company under CAMA 2020 and how does that affect annual return filing?\u003C\/summary\u003E\u003Cp\u003EUnder Section 394 of CAMA 2020, a small company satisfies at least two of: annual turnover of ₦120 million or less; net assets of ₦60 million or less; fewer than 50 employees; not a holding company or subsidiary of a public company. Small companies benefit from simplified annual return requirements and lower filing fees. They begin filing from their third year after incorporation, not the first year. The penalty rate for small companies is lower (approximately ₦5,000 per year of default) compared to other private companies (approximately ₦10,000 per year). The striking-off consequences remain identical regardless of company size.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n  \u003Cdetails\u003E\u003Csummary\u003EWhat is Persons with Significant Control (PSC) and why is it now required with annual returns?\u003C\/summary\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPSC, or beneficial ownership information, is required under CAMA 2020. A PSC is any natural person who directly or indirectly holds 5% or more of shares or voting rights, or has the right to appoint or remove a majority of directors. Companies must maintain a PSC Register and submit this to the CAC under Sections 119 and 791 of CAMA 2020 and the PSC Regulations 2022. The CAC's Batch 6 deregistration campaign specifically requires both outstanding annual returns AND PSC information to be filed. Failure to maintain a PSC register is an independent offense, not contingent on annual returns status.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n  \u003Cdetails\u003E\u003Csummary\u003EHow does a company check if it has been struck off or is on the CAC deregistration list?\u003C\/summary\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo check whether your company has been struck off or is on the CAC's current deregistration list: visit the official CAC portal at cac.gov.ng — the CAC publishes deregistration target lists on its official website. You can also check your company's filing history and compliance status by logging into your company's account on the CAC integrated portal at icrp.cac.gov.ng. If you have lost your login credentials, contact a registered CAC agent or compliance firm to recover access. Additionally, watch for publication of your company's name in national newspapers and the Federal Government Gazette, which occur during the formal striking-off process.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n\u003C!-- ENGAGEMENT QUESTIONS --\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"background:#ffffff!important;border:1px solid #e8e8e8;border-radius:12px;padding:2rem;margin:2rem 0;\"\u003E\n  \u003Ch3 style=\"color:#000000!important;font-weight:700;margin-bottom:1.2rem;\"\u003E💬 Your Questions and Situation — Tell Us\u003C\/h3\u003E\n  \u003Col style=\"color:#1a1a1a!important;line-height:2.2;margin-left:1.5rem;\"\u003E\n    \u003Cli\u003EHas your company been affected by the CAC deregistration campaign?

First, legitimate bank-imposed charges — fees your bank is legally permitted to collect under CBN guidelines, such as account maintenance fees on current accounts, SMS alert charges on a cost-recovery basis, ATM withdrawal fees when using another bank's ATM, or stamp duty on transactions. Second, late debit alerts — notifications arriving hours or days after a transaction actually occurred due to delayed processing between payment systems, commonly seen after POS payments, inter-bank transfers, or USSD transactions. Third, subscription or recurring billing — a service you signed up for (streaming platform, app subscription, online service) has automatically billed your debit card without sending you a separate reminder, often appearing with a cryptic merchant name on your alert. Fourth and most serious: actual unauthorized fraud — someone with access to your card details has debited your account without your consent. Identifying which category yours belongs to determines your next action.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the N50 stamp duty charge that keeps appearing on my Nigerian bank account?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The ₦50 stamp duty deduction is not a bank charge. CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso clarified publicly in May 2026 that the N50 stamp duty charge on customers' accounts is not a bank fee — it is a government tax that originates from the tax authorities, while banks only collect and remit it to the appropriate government account. Under the Stamp Duties Act, a ₦50 stamp duty is charged on electronic receipts or transfers of ₦10,000 and above. This means every time money of ₦10,000 or more enters your account from another person (not yourself), ₦50 is collected by your bank and remitted to the government. It will appear as a debit on your account but is a legal, compulsory government levy, not a bank error or fraud.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is a debit alert without transaction fraud? How do I know?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Not all mystery debits are fraud — most are not. Before concluding fraud, check these indicators systematically. Check the amount against CBN-approved charges: if you see ₦50 (likely stamp duty), ₦10 to ₦50 (likely transfer fee), ₦100 (likely ATM fee), ₦50 SMS alert charge, or small quarterly account maintenance fees, these are legitimate bank charges under the CBN's May 2026 Guide to Charges. If the amount matches a known subscription (Netflix, Spotify, domain renewal, SaaS tool) billed annually or monthly, that is a subscription charge, not fraud. If the debit narration shows an unfamiliar merchant name with an amount that doesn't match any bank fee, and you cannot identify any service it could relate to, treat it as potentially fraudulent and contact your bank within 72 hours of receiving the alert.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What are the current CBN-approved bank charges in Nigeria as of 2026?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Under the CBN's revised Guide to Charges effective May 1, 2026: Card maintenance fees on naira-denominated debit\/credit cards have been completely eliminated. Electronic transfers of ₦5,000 and below are free. Transfers between ₦5,000 and ₦50,000 attract ₦10. Transfers above ₦50,000 cost ₦50. ATM withdrawals using another bank's ATM cost ₦100 per ₦20,000 at on-site ATMs. Off-site ATMs (malls, fuel stations) may charge an additional surcharge up to ₦500 per transaction, but customers must be informed before completing the withdrawal. SMS alerts are charged on a cost-recovery basis (meaning banks cannot profit from them). Email alerts are completely free. Current account maintenance fees remain in place at ₦0.5 per mille in 2026, with a CBN-mandated reduction to zero by 2027. Any debit on your account that falls outside these categories should be investigated.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What should I do if I receive an unauthorized debit in Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Act within 72 hours. Under the CBN's 2025 draft fraud guidelines: screenshot the transaction or suspicious alert immediately. Contact your bank or fintech through verified official channels only (official email, customer care line, or branch in person — never respond to someone who contacts you claiming to be the bank). State clearly that the transaction is unauthorised. Request a case number or ticket ID as proof your complaint was received. Follow up within 24 to 48 hours. Your bank must acknowledge your complaint within 24 hours, commence investigation immediately, conclude the process within 14 working days, and process eligible refunds within 48 hours of conclusion. If your bank does not resolve the matter within two weeks, escalate to the CBN's Consumer Protection Department at cpd@cbn.gov.ng, contactcbn@cbn.gov.ng, or call 07002255226.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is a late debit alert and how does it happen in Nigerian banking?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A late debit alert is a transaction notification that arrives on your phone hours, days, or occasionally weeks after the actual transaction occurred. This is extremely common in Nigeria and is one of the most frequent causes of 'mystery debit' confusion. It happens because Nigeria's interbank payment systems sometimes experience delays in processing and settling transactions — meaning a POS payment you made yesterday afternoon may trigger a debit alert on your phone the following morning. USSD transfers, inter-bank payments, and international transactions are particularly prone to this delay. The debit alert itself is accurate and represents money that did leave your account — it is simply late in notifying you. Before concluding that a debit is unauthorized, check your recent transaction history going back 3 to 5 days to see if a matching amount corresponds to a purchase or transfer you made earlier.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I identify a subscription debit on my Nigerian bank account?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Subscription debits appear when a recurring billing from a service you signed up for — streaming platform, SaaS tool, domain hosting, app subscription, insurance premium, or any digital service with automatic billing — charges your debit card without a separate reminder alert. They typically appear with the merchant's billing name, which often differs from the trading name you recognise. For example, a Netflix subscription may appear as 'NFLX*' on your alert. A Spotify billing may appear as 'Spotify AB.' A web hosting renewal may appear as your hosting company's legal entity name. To identify subscription debits, check: the debit amount against any service you pay for (monthly or annually), the merchant code in your bank alert, and your email inbox for receipts or renewal notices. Cancelling unwanted subscriptions should be done through the service's own cancellation process, not through your bank — blocking the card stops the charge but may cause the service to suspend your account and pursue the payment through other means.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the 72-hour rule for reporting bank fraud in Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The 72-hour rule is a CBN draft fraud guideline (November 2025) mandating that Nigerian bank customers must report suspected fraudulent transactions within 72 hours of the alert to qualify for investigation and potential refund. Once a complaint is lodged within this window, your bank must acknowledge it within 24 hours, commence investigation immediately, conclude the process within 14 working days, and process eligible refunds within 48 hours of conclusion — giving a maximum total resolution window of 16 working days. Missing the 72-hour window does not completely eliminate your right to complain, but it weakens your claim significantly. Report immediately, even if you are not 100% certain the transaction is fraudulent.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can Nigerian banks charge me for SMS alerts in 2026?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, but with strict CBN restrictions since May 1, 2026. Banks can still charge customers for SMS alerts, but only on a cost-recovery basis — meaning they can charge only the actual cost of sending the SMS, not profit from it. Email alerts must be provided completely free of charge. This change has encouraged many Nigerians to switch from SMS to email or app notifications to reduce banking costs. If your bank is charging you above the actual SMS cost-recovery rate, that constitutes an illegal overcharge under the CBN's revised May 2026 Guide to Charges.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I stop unauthorized charges on my Nigerian bank account?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The specific action depends on the type of unauthorized charge. For confirmed fraudulent transactions: contact your bank within 72 hours, request immediate card block and account monitoring, report to EFCC if significant amounts are involved, and change all card-related PINs and online banking passwords. For subscription charges you no longer want: cancel the subscription through the service's own cancellation process and request a refund if the charge was for an upcoming period you did not use. For bank fee overcharges beyond CBN-approved limits: write a formal complaint to your bank with your account details and the specific charge, citing the CBN's May 2026 Guide to Charges as your reference. If unresolved within two weeks, escalate to cpd@cbn.gov.ng. For stamp duty disputes: this cannot be reversed as it is a government tax collected by your bank as a mandated agent of the Federal Government.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does 'account maintenance fee' mean in Nigeria and when is it charged?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Account maintenance fees in Nigeria are monthly charges applied specifically to current accounts (not savings accounts) based on customer-induced debit transactions during the month. Under the CBN's May 2026 revised fee structure, current account maintenance fees are capped at ₦0.5 per mille in 2026 and will be reduced to zero by 2027. The fee does not apply to bank-induced debits or transfers between accounts with the same name in the same bank. Savings account holders are not subject to account maintenance fees. If you hold a current account and see a monthly maintenance debit, this is legal under current CBN rules — but it must be within the capped rate. If you hold only savings accounts and see a maintenance fee, that is an impermissible charge you should query.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why do Nigerian banks send multiple debit alerts for one transaction?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso acknowledged this specific problem publicly in May 2026, confirming that many bank customers receive too many debit alerts for a single transaction, causing confusion. For example, a single transfer may generate separate alerts for the transfer amount, the transfer fee, and the stamp duty — three alerts from one action. The CBN has created a quarterly meeting system with commercial banks specifically to address this, and the governor suggested alerts should be consolidated so customers can clearly understand what each debit is for rather than receiving multiple separate notifications. If you receive several debit alerts in quick succession that collectively account for one transfer amount plus documented fees, this is a display and notification packaging issue, not multiple unauthorised charges.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I report a wrong bank charge to the CBN in Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The CBN's official complaint process is a two-step escalation. Step one: report the complaint directly to your bank or the branch where the issue originated. Request a reference or tracking number as proof the complaint was received. Your bank must attempt resolution. Step two: if the issue is not resolved within two weeks, escalate to the CBN Consumer Protection Department by emailing cpd@cbn.gov.ng or contactcbn@cbn.gov.ng, or call 07002255226. In your complaint, include your full name and contact information, your account details, a clear description of the wrongful charge with the date and amount, copies of your alerts or transaction records, and proof that you already complained to the bank with the reference number. Under CBN Consumer Protection Regulations, banks must refund identified excess charges, non-payment or under-payment of interest on deposits, and unauthorized debits.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the difference between a debit card maintenance fee and an account maintenance fee in Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"These are two distinct charges that were frequently confused in Nigeria until CBN reforms in 2026 eliminated one entirely. A debit card maintenance fee is a periodic charge for maintaining the physical debit card linked to your account. The CBN eliminated card maintenance fees on naira-denominated debit and credit cards effective May 1, 2026 — meaning this fee should no longer appear on your account. If it still appears after May 2026, report it as an impermissible overcharge. An account maintenance fee is a charge on the current account itself, based on customer-induced debit transaction volume during the month. This fee still exists in 2026 but is capped at ₦0.5 per mille and only applies to current accounts — not savings accounts. Savings account holders should not be charged any account maintenance fee.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What bank fraud statistics should Nigerians know in 2026?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Bank fraud in Nigeria has grown aggressively. According to data from the Financial Institutions Training Centre (FITC), reported fraud losses reached ₦3.29 billion in the first quarter of 2025 alone — a 603% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Reported fraud cases rose sharply to 12,347 within the same three-month period. The CBN responded with draft fraud guidelines in November 2025, introducing the 72-hour reporting requirement, mandatory bank acknowledgment within 24 hours, and maximum 16-working-day resolution windows. Electronic fraud has been driven by card-not-present transactions, social engineering attacks where customers reveal OTPs voluntarily, SIM swap fraud, and insider collusion within banks. Nigerian consumers who use email or app notifications instead of SMS, use strong two-factor authentication, and never share OTPs with anyone have significantly lower fraud risk.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can I get a refund for an unauthorized debit from my Nigerian bank?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes — under CBN regulations, banks are required to refund identified unauthorized debits and excess charges. However, eligibility depends on several factors. You must report within 72 hours under the CBN's draft fraud guidelines. You must not have negligently shared your OTP, PIN, or card details with a third party — if the fraud occurred because you voluntarily revealed credentials to someone claiming to be your bank, your claim may be weakened. Your bank must investigate and if fraud is confirmed, refund within 48 hours of concluding the investigation. If your bank refuses to investigate or refund a legitimate unauthorized debit, escalate to the CBN Consumer Protection Department at cpd@cbn.gov.ng, which has the authority to mandate refunds and fine banks ₦2 million per violation and ₦500,000 per complaint per week while the infraction continues.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the CBN's Guide to Charges by Banks and what changed in 2026?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The CBN's Guide to Charges by Banks and Other Financial Institutions is the official regulatory document that specifies exactly what Nigerian banks are and are not permitted to charge customers. The most recent update took effect May 1, 2026, and represents one of the most significant overhauls to Nigeria's banking fee framework since 2020. Key changes: card maintenance fees on naira cards completely eliminated; email alerts made completely free; SMS alerts restricted to cost-recovery basis only; electronic transfers of ₦5,000 and below remain free; ATM fees standardised at ₦100 per ₦20,000 at on-site ATMs; current account maintenance fees capped at ₦0.5 per mille in 2026 with phased elimination to zero in 2027; any new banking fee not listed in the guide must receive written CBN approval before implementation. Banks that violate these guidelines face a ₦2 million fine per infraction.\"}},\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What should I do immediately after receiving a suspicious debit alert in Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Follow these steps in sequence. First, do not panic — most mystery debits in Nigeria are a legitimate bank fee, stamp duty, late transaction alert, or subscription charge, not fraud. Second, check the alert carefully: note the exact amount, time, and any narration or merchant code shown. Third, compare the amount against the CBN-approved fee schedule and any services you pay for regularly. Fourth, check your recent transaction history (last 3 to 5 days) for any POS, transfer, or USSD transaction whose debit alert may have arrived late. Fifth, if none of these explains the debit, contact your bank through official channels within 72 hours. Do not call back any number that texts or calls you claiming to be your bank — use only the number on your bank card's back or the official bank website. Sixth, request an account freeze or card block if you believe your card details have been compromised. Seventh, document everything: screenshot the alert, note the time of your complaint, and record the reference number your bank gives you.\"}}\n  ]\n}\n\u003C\/script\u003E\n\n\u003C!-- SCHEMA 3:

CBN Governor Cardoso confirmed publicly in May 2026 that it is a government tax originating from tax authorities, collected by banks on the government's behalf.

If it matches a known fee (₦50 stamp duty, ₦10–₦50 transfer fee, ₦100 ATM fee), it is a legal bank charge. If it matches a subscription amount, check your email for renewal receipts.

Free and Plus plans now only receive a one-time trial of 20 AI responses — after which AI is completely locked. This means: a 10-person Nigerian team wanting Notion collaboration PLUS AI must pay $200\/month (~₦308,000\/month). Teams expecting to get AI features on Plus ($10\/user) will be disappointed — and the discovery typically happens after they've already migrated their workspace.

For a team using Butler automation to trigger actions (e.g., \"when a card is moved to Done, notify the client\"), 250 runs\/month is approximately 8 per day.

The money saved on ClickUp Free versus Notion Plus over 24 months for a 12-person team is approximately ₦4.4 million — enough to hire a junior team member, run a full annual marketing campaign, or invest in equipment.

The practical answer: before launching any PM tool, explicitly decide which communication stays on WhatsApp (personal messages, voice notes, informal updates) and which moves to the new tool (task creation, status updates, project documentation). Without this line, every team returns to WhatsApp within 3 weeks because it is familiar and the new tool requires effort. The tool is not the problem. The boundary is the problem.

Nigerian teams that adopt structured project management tools at scale — and build the discipline to use them consistently — gain a productivity advantage over competitors still managing entirely through WhatsApp groups. For Nigerian freelancers competing on Upwork and Fiverr, demonstrating proficiency in tools like Trello or Notion is a visible portfolio credential that signals professional workflow maturity to international clients.

This is cheaper than Trello Standard ($5\/user) AND Notion Plus ($10\/user) while offering more features.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n\n\u003Cdetails\u003E\u003Csummary\u003EHow does Trello's 10-board limit affect Nigerian teams practically?\u003C\/summary\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EEach client or major project typically needs its own board. A Nigerian agency with 6 active clients plus 2-3 internal boards (HR, marketing, ops) hits the 10-board ceiling within weeks. Options: upgrade to Standard ($5\/user), archive old boards (loses searchability), or migrate to ClickUp Free (5 Spaces, each with unlimited boards\/lists within). Most Nigerian teams hit this limit within 1-3 months of active Trello use.

It is more powerful than Trello Free for teams and more collaboration-friendly than Notion Free, at no cost. If the team strongly prefers visual simplicity: Trello Free. If the team needs docs + tasks in one place: Notion Free (solo) or Notion Plus for small teams. Business Tech Africa (July 2026) recommends ClickUp or Notion as starting points for African startups specifically for their balance of power and low cost.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/details\u003E\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"closing-box\"\u003E\n  \u003Cp\u003EThe relief you were looking for at the start of this article is now in front of you: ClickUp Free, at ₦0, handles what Trello Standard charges ₦7,700\/user\/month for, and what Notion Plus charges ₦15,400\/user\/month for. The Notion AI situation would have cost a 10-person Nigerian team ₦308,000\/month if they had followed popular advice without checking the 2026 pricing reality. The tools are not the hard part. The team habit of opening the tool instead of the WhatsApp group is the hard part. And that starts with a 14-day pilot on one real project, with one real team, before any decision about migration or payment. Start that pilot today. Free. No card required.\u003C\/p\u003E\n  \u003Cp style=\"font-size:0.95rem;color:#1a3a5c;font-weight:700;margin-top:1rem;\"\u003E— Samson Ese | Founder, Daily Reality NG | Warri, Delta State | July 13, 2026\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"trust-closer\"\u003E\n  © 2026 Daily Reality NG | Samson Ese | Sources: Trello\/Notion\/ClickUp official pricing (verified July 2026), Lagos Data School June 2026, Business Tech Africa July 2026, OnPoint Services Africa June 2026, Tech.co, eesel AI, G2 | July 13, 2026\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"share-wrap\"\u003E\n  \u003Cstrong style=\"color:#000;font-weight:800;font-size:1.1rem;\"\u003E📢 Know a Nigerian Team Still Managing Projects on WhatsApp?\u003C\/strong\u003E\n  \u003Cp style=\"color:#555;font-size:0.88rem;margin-top:0.4rem;line-height:1.6;\"\u003EShare this guide with the person running their business on WhatsApp groups and Google Sheets.

The WhatsApp project management reality that Nigerian teams live is the same one I navigated. Every pricing figure in this article is sourced from an official vendor page or verified independent review from 2026. Every naira calculation uses an exchange rate I acknowledged is approximate. And the Notion AI situation — which would have cost a reader thousands of naira per month based on outdated information — was the most important editorial call in this article. Daily Reality NG exists to give Nigerian professionals accurate information before they make consequential decisions. This guide is that standard applied to software.\u003C\/p\u003E\n    \u003Cp style=\"font-size:0.86rem;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrealityngnews.com\/p\/about-page.html\"
