The Corporate Affairs Commission has commenced another round of striking off companies from Nigeria’s Register of Companies, with about 100,000 businesses listed under the sixth batch of the exercise.
The announcement, dated July 15, 2026, states that the action is being taken pursuant to Section 692(3) and (4) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020.
Business owners, directors, and other stakeholders have been advised to check whether their entities are among the affected companies by downloading the official list through the link below:

Affected companies have been given 90 days from the date of the notice to regularise their records by filing all outstanding annual returns and submitting details of Persons with Significant Control or Beneficial Ownership, where applicable.
Companies that complete the necessary filings are also expected to send evidence of compliance to:

The Commission warned that companies that fail to comply within the stipulated period will be struck off the Register without further notice.
Business owners are therefore encouraged to confirm their status immediately and take the required steps to avoid having their companies removed from the Register.
