The federal government has canceled the business registration name of a civil society organisation, Enough is Enough Nigeria, in a renewed clampdown against free speech and freedom to protest.
In a tweet, the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) said that the registration of business name of the Enough is Enough was canceled for doing the wrong things.
The CAC said: “Based on the provisions of Section 579 (2) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, (CAMA), the Corporate Affairs Commission has cancelled the registration of the Business name “Enough is Enough BN 2210728” with immediate effect.
“The above section provides amongst others that the Commission has the power to cancel the registration of a Business Name where the name is deceptive or objectionable.
“The Business Name “Enough is Enough” which was registered in 2012 to engage in General Contracts, Sales of Sport Equipment/Promotion deviated from its main objectives over the cause of time.
“Consequently, the Commission has removed it from its database and advised the proprietors to surrender the certificate earlier issued to them.”
Observers believe that the latest decision of the CAC to cancel the business registration of Enough is Enough is another phase of clampdown against groups and persons who disagree with government.
