The Registrar-General disclosed that the commission was making arrangements to empower over 400 approving officers with working tools to process and approve registration applications either from home or anywhere necessary.
Abubakar stated that the challenges of COVID-19 pandemic had adversely hampered CAC’s delivery timeline. But the CAC was resolutely committed to serving its customers despite being forced to operate with less than 50 per cent of its workforce.
