Abuja, February 10, 2026 – The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has announced a major boost in its business registration capacity, now processing nearly 10,000 registrations daily after the rollout of artificial intelligence (AI) across its digital platforms.
Registrar-General Hussaini Magaji made the disclosure during the commission’s 35th anniversary celebration in Abuja, noting that the adoption of AI has significantly improved the speed, accuracy, and overall efficiency of the registration process.
“Thanks to these technological upgrades, we can now serve thousands of entrepreneurs and business owners every day, reducing wait times and streamlining operations,” Magaji said.
The surge in registrations is also driven by government tax reforms, policies encouraging formalisation of informal businesses, and the growth of digital enterprises, the commission added. CAC’s AI system handles not only registrations but also around 5,000 daily customer inquiries, underscoring the rising demand for corporate registry services.
In addition, CAC has partnered with technology firms to strengthen its infrastructure, ensuring that services remain accessible 24/7. While the initial transition to AI in 2025 caused some temporary service disruptions, the commission emphasized that the long-term benefits for entrepreneurs and the business environment are substantial.
With this digital transformation, CAC aims to further Nigeria’s ease-of-doing-business initiatives, making formal registration faster, simpler, and more widely accessible.
