The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has announced plans to restructure its operations to improve service delivery and better meet the needs of both national and international businesses. The Registrar-General/CEO of the CAC, Hussaini Magaji, made this known during the 2024 Management Retreat, themed “Repositioning the Corporate Affairs Commission for Enhanced Service Delivery,” held in Jos, Plateau State.
In a statement released by the commission on Friday, it was highlighted that the CAC is committed to becoming a global, customer-centric registry. The overhaul is intended to transform the organisation into a more flexible and dynamic body capable of adapting to global trends.
During his address, Magaji stressed the need for a complete reformation of the commission’s current organisational structure, emphasizing that it must be dismantled to accommodate a more adaptive and modern framework. He said, “The CAC is a learning organisation, ready and willing to reinvent and recreate itself to meet both current and future customer needs. The current organogram must be entirely dismantled to make way for a more adaptable and dynamic structure aligned with global realities.”
Magaji also underscored the importance of leveraging technology to streamline operations and keep pace with evolving customer needs. He urged retreat participants to focus not only on present demands but to anticipate future customer needs, ensuring the commission’s services do not become outdated.
As part of the restructuring, the CAC plans to overhaul its state offices, turning them into strategic compliance and enforcement centres. These offices will focus more on post-incorporation activities, with staff trained and empowered to ensure compliance with ethical standards.
To guide this transformation, the CAC has set up a committee to develop a blueprint drawing from best practices in other countries, including Malaysia and China. The blueprint will integrate global models that align with the CAC’s goals for efficiency and customer focus.
The retreat also drew commendations from Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang, represented by Commissioner of Trade and Industry Musa Sule, who praised the Registrar-General’s efforts. Additionally, the Director General/CEO of the Industrial Training Fund (ITF), Dr. Afiz Oluwatoyin Ogun, and former Deputy Executive Chairman of Jos North, Sani Mudi, lauded Magaji’s commitment to repositioning the commission for future success.
