The abrupt removal of Garba Abubakar as Registrar General of the Corporate Affairs Com- mission (CAC) is a set back to the gains the agency made
under his leadership. Under four years, the reformist Abubakar has almost fully turned the CAC to an agency where
things work in line with global standards. Virtually all bureaucratic bottlenecks were removed and the CAC became a global
reference agency. Abubakar championed the reforms on case of doing business particularly in the arsas of electronic registration, consolidation of registration forms, integration of the CAC registration portal with the FIRS stamp duty portal, reduction of registration fees, and direct registration by first directors/
subscribers.
Forget about the workers celebrating Abubakar’s sack. These are people affected by his anti-cotruption drive in the CAC They are also opposed to change. Abubakar stopped “business as usual” and profligacy at the CAC. If Tinubu truly wants to tum around this country, the likes of Abubakar
must be brought on board.
