The Corporate Affairs Commission has explained why it has set a dress code for customers on its premises.
The dress code, which is to take effect from Monday, February 10, stipulates that all customers at the commission’s premises to transact business must be corporately and decently dressed from Monday to Thursday of every week.
Mrs Sharibu said the law which has been in existence before now, is not targeted at women alone, she said men also dress indecently to the commission. Mr Abubakar is a lawyer and a former special adviser to Bello Mahmud, the then Registrar General of CAC between August 2010 to October 2017.The sudden enforcement of the law after years of being in existence is said to be a directive from the new management.
Commenting on the new directive, a legal practitioner, Kenms Akwarandu, said the law may be to differentiate the accredited agents at the commission from the touts that lurk around the premises. “So if you are a customer coming to do business at the CAC, you are bound by the rules and regulations of CAC,” she said.However, a legal practitioner and rights activist, Mbasekei Obono, had a different view of the directive. He said it is a move by government to shrink the civic space.
