Most people think that everything ends once they register their companies and business while other companies think that the only thing they need before they start bidding for federal contracts in Nigeria is CAC certificate.

Every company, business or IT registered with CAC must file their annual returns and failure to do so, such company or business will not do any post incorporation business with CAC. That is why must companies have “inactive” status in their CAC dashboard. Note that before you can operate a business or an IT in Nigeria, you must register that business with the Corporate Affairs Commision and if you have already registered, you must be up to date with your annual returns.
You cannot hide from it, the more you leave it, the more it accumulate.

For a company to start bidding for federal government contract in Nigeria, there are other licenses you need to obtain and not just your CAC certificate.
