Why CAC Declined Certain Names for Registration
The key reasons for the declining the registration of the certain name, according to Abubakar, are:
- If the name has security implications, it would be rejected
- If the name is deceptive or misleading
- If the name is abstract, it will be declined.
To avoid name rejection, the CAC boss advised applicants to always approach the commission with fully qualified names that agree with objects of the association or organization applying for registration.
As par query reasons, he admonished the applicant to always address the issue before re-submitting such for a review by the CAC technical team just the way we pointed out in one of our guides on how to resolve some of the query reasons which is accessible at: https://infomediang.com/cac-queried-registration
He also advised the applicant or companies to always read the guidelines for registration to avoid issues that might arise in the process of registration.
He promised to step up its game to quickly resolve customer complaints.
Recalled that the commission began its online registration fully as a response to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
