The Manager of the Corporate Affairs Commission in Kebbi State, Yusuf Adoga, said on Wednesday that companies that failed to register with the commission would be prosecuted.
Adoga told the News Agency of Nigeria in Birinin Kebbi that only about 40 per cent of companies had been registered in the state.
He said the commission would embark on a verification scheme to ensure compliance with rules guiding the operation of companies.
Adoga advised newly established firms to register with the commission in their own interest.
