 Dolly Parton returns to public eye to celebrate opening day at Dollywood     Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months to celebrate the opening day of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Friday. The country music icon reflected on the past year, a year after the death of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, saying she is “doing good” and has been working to rebuild herself spiritually, emotionally, and physically after grieving and dealing with health issues that kept her from touring. Joined on stage by Dollywood president Eugene Naughton, Parton brought her trademark humor to the crowd, joking about rumors of a new husband while reaffirming her devotion to Dean.

 CAC to Delist 100,000 Dormant Companies, Issues 90-Day Grace Period for Compliance


The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has announced plans to strike off approximately 100,000 dormant companies from its register due to their failure to file annual returns for over a decade. The commission has granted these companies a 90-day grace period to submit all outstanding returns or face delisting, as outlined in a statement released on its official website and X account on Wednesday, July 24, 2024.


The CAC’s decision is in line with Section 692 (3) and (4) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) No. 3 of 2020, which empowers the commission to remove defunct or dormant companies that have not complied with annual filing obligations for 10 years. A comprehensive list of the affected companies has been published on the CAC’s website, www.cac.gov.ng, for public reference.


According to the CAC, companies that fail to file their outstanding annual returns within the 90-day window, starting from the date of the announcement, will be deemed dissolved and struck off the register. The commission emphasized that it is illegal to conduct business under the name of a delisted company, as such entities are legally considered dissolved. Companies that have complied with filing requirements but remain on the list are advised to submit proof of compliance to compliance@cac.gov.ng within 30 days to avoid erroneous delisting.


The CAC urged affected companies to file their returns and notify the commission via email at activation@cac.gov.ng to have their names removed from the delisting list. This move follows a similar initiative in December 2023, when the CAC announced plans to delist 91,843 companies, a figure later adjusted after some firms complied during an earlier grace period. As of November 2024, the commission had already delisted 80,429 companies, including notable names like Innoson “Vinod” International Limited and Jolly Food Industries Ltd, for non-compliance.


The CAC’s ongoing efforts aim to sanitize Nigeria’s corporate register, enhance transparency, and ensure that only active businesses remain on its database. Stakeholders are cautioned against engaging in transactions with delisted companies, as such actions are illegal without a Federal High Court order to restore the company’s status. The commission’s actions underscore its commitment to enforcing corporate governance and regulatory compliance in Nigeria’s business environment.
