CAC committed to sustaining digitisation for better service delivery – Registrar General
The Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, says it remains committed to sustaining the CAC’s digitisation efforts for better service delivery and sourcing of more revenue for the government.
A statement by Rasheed Mahe, CAC’s Head Media Unit on Saturday, said the Registrar General of the commission, Garba Abubakar, disclosed this in Kaduna while declaring open the commission’s 2021 Management Retreat with the theme, `Digital Economy: The Role of Corporate Affairs Commission’.
The statement stressed that CAC was vigorously reforming its operations in accordance with global best practices.
It noted that work on the deployment of Limited Partnership, LP, and Limited Liability Partnership, LLP, was nearing completion.
On the commission’s improved revenue, the registrar general said the commission in the year 2020 paid more than N3 billion operating surplus into the federation account and also settled more than N5 billion inherited liabilities, amongst others.
He expressed regret that the commission had, prior to his assumption of office, been spending more than 101% of its revenue on staff cost alone.
He, therefore pledged to continue to prioritise the training and retraining of staff, adding that the commission would soon organise its 2020 promotion examination and also embark on the training of more than 400 staffers
He charged staffers of the commission yet to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to voluntarily submit themselves for innoculation.
Mr Abubakar pledged remain focused on working assiduously for the further growth of the commission.
The statement said that Olayemi Oyeniyi, the commission’s Director of Human Resources who delivered a speech at the event, said commission would migrate from the use of Annual Performance Evaluation Review, APER, to Key Performance Indicators, KPI.
Mr Oyeniyi, who described the APER system as subjective and obsolete, revealed that the KPI method was structured into parts A, B, and C, consisting of assessment for the year under review and the upcoming year, amongst others.
Digitisation is the process of converting information into a digital (i.e. computer-readable) format.
The result is the representation of an object, image, sound, document, or signal (usually an analog signal) by generating a series of numbers that describe a discrete set of points or samples.
Digitisation is of crucial importance to data processing, storage and transmission, because it “allows information of all kinds in all formats to be carried with the same efficiency and also intermingled”.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL has officially decided not to sell the Port Harcourt Refining Company.
NNPCL has, instead said it is committed to conducting an extensive rehabilitation of the facility and ensuring its continued operation.
During a company-wide town hall meeting held at the NNPC Towers in Abuja, Bayo Ojulari, the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Ltd, announced the decision regarding the future of the nation’s most significant state-owned refining asset, putting an end to weeks of speculation.
A statement by NNPCL reads, “The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has officially ruled out the sale of the Port Harcourt Refining Company, reaffirming its commitment to completing high-grade rehabilitation and retention of the plant.
“The ongoing review indicates that the earlier decision to operate the Port Harcourt refinery, before full completion of its rehabilitation, was ill-informed and subcommercial.
”Although progress is being made on all three, the emerging outlook calls for more advanced technical partnerships to complete and high-grade the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt refinery.
”Thus, selling is highly unlikely as it would lead to further value erosion.”
