# Seed obligations

> Auto-generate standard Nigerian compliance obligations for a company.

Seeds your compliance calendar with the standard Nigerian regulatory obligations (CAC annual return, VAT, CIT, PAYE, pension, ITF). Obligations that already exist for the company are skipped, so this is safe to re-run.

## Body

<ParamField body="companyId" type="string" required>
  The company to seed obligations for.
</ParamField>
