Abuja (Flowerbudnews): Alhaji Garba Abubakar, the immediate past Registrar General of the Corporate Affairs Commission CAC) has been commended for Modernising the operations of the Commission to the satisfaction of its customers.
A Lawyer, Barrister Sylvester Udemezue gave the commendation in a public comment he wrote on the tenure of Alhaji Abubakar as the Chief Executive Officer of CAC, a copy of which was made available to Flowerbudnews on Monday in Abuja.
Barr Udemezue noted that Alhaji Abubakar successful implemented the Federal Government’s ease of doing business policy to transform CAC operations with deployment of effective ICT technology.
He wrote: A. G. ABUBAKAR, ESQ came in as the Registrar-General of the Corporate Affairs Commission, and practically deployed ICT-system that radically transformed the whole face of the CAC.
He made doing legal business at CAC stress-free or less stresssful. Before A. G. ABUBAKAR came on board, lawyers could spend up to 3-4 weeks just to reserve a name for company or business-name registration at CAC.
And one had, THEN, to personally be at the CAC office, and experiencing all manner of bottlenecks plus atrocious extortions and by some CAC officials before one’s legal job could be attended to.
The process of registration of company could, THEN, last up to 3-4 months before the arrival of A.G. ABUBAKAR as the RG of CAC.
Now, A. G. ABUBAKAR installed ease-of-doing business; for the past almost 4 years he was at CAC as the RG, No more delays.
No more hassles!
No more extortions!
The entire process of registration of a company (from application for approval and reservation of name up to conclusion, and then collection of Certificate of Incorporation) does not last beyond SEVEN (7) DAYS (I mean seven days!!!!) unless the applicant has not fulfilled necessary conditions-precedent to registration of his company or business name.
Besides, NOW, one could from one’s bedroom, start and finish the whole process of incorporation of a company, and within one week.
One can now start and finish any legal job at CAC, from one’s bedroom, without any reasons whatsoever to personally or physically visit the CAC office.
YET, the same man is removed and some lawyers suddenly start protesting to celebrate his removal. Unthinking, undiscerning, brainless brownnosers.
Lawyers are a greater part of the problems of Nigeria!!!!!* From his strides at the CAC, A.G. ABUBAKAR is among the few to have made outstanding strides in public office in Nigeria.
Those castigating him are mostly sponsored by the few disgruntled, corrupt CAC staffers whose corrupt, extortionist tendencies had been halted, and shut out by A.G. ABUBAKAR’s ICT-driven 21st-century innovativeness at the CAC.My opinion, with due respect, Barrister Udemezue concluded (Flowerbudnews)
