The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) announced that its online portal will be unavailable for three days, beginning on 17 April 2026 and resuming on 20 April 2026. The suspension is described as a temporary measure to carry out scheduled maintenance and system upgrades. The commission disclosed the plan in a public notice released on 17 April 2026, which advised users to expect the interruption and to refrain from attempting access during the period. The maintenance follows recent reports of cyber‑threat concerns that prompted the regulator to act pre‑emptively. The notice did not provide further details about the nature of the threats but emphasized that the upgrades aim to strengthen the portal's security and reliability. Users of the CAC portal, including businesses and individuals awaiting registration services, were urged to plan accordingly. The story was first published on Nairametrics.
The CAC cites cyber‑threat concerns while shutting down its portal, a move that paradoxically blocks users from accessing essential services. Nigerian entrepreneurs awaiting company registration will face a three‑day delay, potentially postponing business operations. This interruption also risks compounding the very security worries the commission seeks to mitigate.
