CAC Raises Alarm Over Attempts to Undermine New Intelligent Registration Portal
http://The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC)The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has raised concerns over what it describes as deliberate attempts by certain individuals to discredit its newly launched Intelligent Company Registration Portal (ICRP), warning that such actions threaten the ongoing efforts to digitalise Nigeria’s company registration system.
In a public notice, the Commission revealed that it had detected attempts to manipulate the ICRP’s smart system by deliberately altering word and phrase selection during registration, in a bid to bypass built-in regulatory safeguards. It described the behaviour as a coordinated effort to undermine both the credibility of the platform and the broader application of artificial intelligence in regulatory processes.
The ICRP, which leverages AI technology to automate and enhance the registration of companies, is designed to improve over time through continued interaction with users. According to the Commission, the portal is already demonstrating increased independence, adaptability, and efficiency, aligning with CAC’s goal of delivering faster, simpler, and more compliant registration services.
“The system is not static,” the Commission noted. “It learns and evolves. This ensures that it becomes more effective with each interaction.”
Reaffirming its commitment to excellent service delivery, the CAC emphasized the importance of constructive feedback from users, stating that such input is vital in improving the platform’s functionality. However, it issued a stern warning against the spread of misinformation and any attempts to sabotage or manipulate the registration process.
“Let’s work together to build a system that works for all,” the Commission stated, calling on stakeholders and the general public to support the platform so it can reach its full potential.
The CAC’s move reflects a broader push toward adopting smart technologies across public sector services in Nigeria, aimed at improving transparency, speed, and compliance in business regulation.
