Nigeria just turned 65, and while we celebrate independence vibes, Afrobeats dominance, and green-white-green pride, there’s a conversation that must trend louder: business registration.
Here’s the gist
- Over 65% of Nigeria’s economy is still informal, brilliant ideas and ventures running off the books.
- But every nation that moved from “developing” to “developed” had one thing in common: they shifted informal ventures into registered enterprises.
Why does this matter?
1️⃣ Funding flows to formality – Banks, VCs, and government grants all look for a CAC certificate before saying “yes.”
2️⃣ Legit is louder – Registration equals credibility. It opens doors to contracts, partnerships, and bigger markets.
3️⃣ Data is power – Registered businesses provide real numbers for smarter government policies and investor confidence.
4️⃣ Jobs & GDP – SMEs already power 84% of Nigeria’s jobs. More registrations mean more scaling, more jobs, and a stronger economy.
The truth? Oil isn’t our biggest untapped resource; Registered Nigerian businesses are.
✅ Call to Action
