Why Update Your Company Directors on the CAC Register

In a Nigerian company, directors are the “alter egos” of the company, appointed by owners to manage, direct, and oversee the business’s affairs. While shareholders or guarantors are the owners of the company, directors act as agents and trustees responsible for strategic decisions, corporate governance, and legal compliance.

Directors are first appointed at the point of company registration, and their names are recorded on the public CAC register. Whenever a director is appointed, resigns, is removed, retires, or dies, the CAC register must be updated. This keeps the official record accurate and ensures only the right people have authority to act for the company.

  • Statutory Requirement: Companies must notify the CAC within 14 days of any change in the board of directors to avoid penalties, fines, or compliance issues.

  • Reliable Due Diligence: Up-to-date director records give banks, investors, regulators, and other stakeholders a reliable basis for verifying the company’s leadership.

  • Reflect New Appointments: Recording a newly appointed director ensures the company’s official records reflect the current composition of its board.

  • Record Resignations and Removals: Updating the register formally reflects when a director ceases to hold office and helps distinguish former directors from those still serving.
