NUSA registration is geared towards verifying a Nigerian company’s corporate identify and its operations. During the NUSA verification process, we gather information and knowledge about the Nigerian company.
Additionally, NUSA verification looks at the Nigerian company’s trading and banking references and financial standing as well as their management structure, profile of directors, shareholders/equity, solicitors, transactions etc.
Effective April 1, 2025, NUSA membership registration/renewal fee is N200,000.
