Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work. Buyer was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months in prison for illegal stock trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000 in ill-gotten gains and pay a $10,000 fine. He was released from custody in 2025 after his conviction was upheld, with the Supreme Court declining to take up his appeal earlier this year.

CAC REVEALS ONLY 100,000 POS OPERATORS HAVE REGISTERED. (PHOTO).


 


The Registrar General of the Corporate Affairs Commission, Hussaini Ishaq Magaji has revealed that only 100,000 Point of Sale (POS) operators have officially registered their businesses with the commission as part of its POS formalization project.


Magaji said this during the in-house enforcement and compliance training for state offices on Monday in Abuja,


Magaji said that the training,  with the themed “Re-engineering the Commission for Compliance and Enforcement Mandates” would ensure efficient management of corporate entities.


He called for a paradigm shift in the commission’s operations, emphasising the importance of compliance and enforcement functions beyond the routine registration of businesses.


The registrar-general said that advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) could handle routine operational tasks like business registration, freeing resources for more complex compliance and enforcement activities.


He reiterated the success of the PoS Formalisation Project, which had registered about 100,000 Point-of-Sale operators under the requirements of Section 863 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020.


According to him, the project aims to formalise at least 250,000 operators in the sector as part of broader efforts to regulate the estimated 40 million micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria.


He revealed plans to implement sanctions for operators who fail to comply with formalisation requirements and clarified that multiple registrations across fintech platforms were unnecessary, as one registration sufficed.
