nepzaThe Authority is Nigeria’s Investment Promotion Agency for investment into the Free Zone areas in Nigeria . The licensing, monitoring and regulation of Free Zones Scheme in Nigeria is vested on the Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority by the Nigeria Export Processing Zones’ Act 63, of 1992.

Several factors are responsible for the adoption of Free Zones Scheme in Nigeria , amongst which are the diversifications of the revenue base of the economy, employment generation and to encourage export through local production.

The enabling Act also confers on the Authority the power to approve and grant all licenses and permits to the exclusion of all other Agencies, enforce obedience and compliance to rules and regulations. In effect, the Act is an omnibus law, which permits the Authority and its Board the power to define the policy directions and provide a One-Stop-Shop transaction without bureaucracy.

The establishment of the Corporate Affairs Commission as an autonomous body was as a result of the perceived inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the erstwhile Company Registry, a department within the Federal and Tourism which was then responsible for the registration and administration of the repealed Companies Act of 1968.

The functions of the Commission as set out in section 7 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, includes the following:

  • To administer the Act, including the regulation and supervision of the formation, incorporation, management and winding up of companies;
  • To establish and maintain companies registry and offices in all the states of the Federation suitably and adequately equipped to discharge its functions under the Act or any law in respect of which it is charged with responsibility;
  • Arrange and conduct an investigation into the affairs of any company where the interests of the shareholders and the public so demand;
  • To undertake such other activities as are necessary or expedient for giving full effect to the provisions of the Act.

The Commission also registers Names, and Incorporated Trustees as well as provides a wide range of ancillary services.
