CAC Marks 35th Anniversary, Unveils AI-Powered Website, Offers 3,500 Free Business Name Registrations
The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has unveiled a newly redesigned website embedded with an AI-powered Lawyer Assistant, aimed at deepening the ease of doing business in Nigeria.
The milestone was announced on Monday at the opening ceremony of the CAC@35 anniversary celebration held in Abuja.
Speaking at the unveiling, the Registrar-General and Chief Executive Officer of CAC, Hussaini Ishaq Magaji, SAN, explained that the relaunch represents a complete overhaul of the Commission’s digital platform, introducing two groundbreaking innovations.
According to him, the first is an AI Lawyer Assistant, which allows users to ask questions on CAC laws, rules, guidelines, procedures, and operations, and receive instant and accurate responses.
The second feature is an AI Name Generator, designed to enable users to generate and reserve scalable business names directly on the CAC website with greater ease, speed, and convenience.
In the spirit of the 35th anniversary celebration, the Registrar-General announced free business name registration for 3,500 small businesses, to be distributed across the 36 states of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory.
He also announced additional incentives, including scholarships for six outstanding corporate law students from each of the six campuses of the Nigerian Law School for the 2026 academic year.
As part of the Commission’s corporate social responsibility, Magaji disclosed the donation of 120 mattresses to an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp, alongside a commemorative staff bonus equivalent to 25 per cent of one month’s gross salary, special car loan schemes, and special housing loan packages for staff.
The anniversary event attracted top government officials, captains of industry, and other distinguished guests, including a former Governor of Bauchi State, Malam Isa Yuguda.
