The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has commenced two new forms of business registration pursuant to CAMA, 2020.

This followed the successful deployment of the Online Application for Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) and Limited Partnerships (LPs).

Garba Abubakar, the Registrar General made the announcement in a statement by Rasheed Mahe, CAC Head of Media.

Abubakar described the LLP as a partnership arrangement with a legal personality, separate from the partners.

The liabilities of the partners of an LLP are limited to the amount agreed to be contributed or outstanding in the event of winding up.

An LLP shall have at least two “Designated Partners” who would be responsible for compliance with the requirements of the Act by the LLP.

The designated partners should be individuals, at least one of whom must be resident in Nigeria.

However, the LP is a partnership arrangement with at least one general partner and at least one limited partner.

The liabilities of a general partner are unlimited, while the liabilities of a limited partner are limited unless the individual partakes in the management of the partnership.

An LP should not consist of more than 20 persons and that the name of an LP should end with the word “Limited Partnership” or the abbreviation “LP”.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, has increased the pump price of premium motor spirit across its retail outlets.

It was gathered that NNPCL retail outlets in Abuja have adjusted their fuel pump price to N955 per litre from N890.

This is the case in NNPCL retail outlets along Kubwa Expressway, Wuse and other parts of Abuja.

Similarly, the pump price hike has been implemented at filling stations in Kogi and Nasarawa.

This means that the petrol pump price was increased by N65.

This comes after independent petroleum product marketers and filling station owners in Abuja increased petrol pump prices to between N950 and N971 per litre at the weekend. Their decision followed an upward review of the ex-depot petrol price by Dangote Refinery to N858 per litre, up from N820.
