The general public is hereby informed that the above named Society has not been registered with the Commission which is the only statutory body charged with the responsibility of registration of all Non-Governmental Organizations.
Section 863 (2) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act No. 3 of 2020 makes it an offence for individuals, corporations or associations that require registration under the Act to commence operation or activities without prior registration.
The above named society has not only opened a physical office at No.73 Ebitu Ukiwe Street, Jabi, Abuja but has also appointed board of trustees, opened state chapters and established an online presence at www.nls.org.ng where it is actively recruiting members.
We therefore advise members of the general public to refrain from dealing with the society to avoid aiding and abetting illegal activities.
