PUBLIC NOTICE- APPOINTMENT OF CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES BY COMPANIES WITHIN THE MEANING OF COMPANIES AND ALLIED MATTERS ACT (CAMA)

1. That the concept of corporate representative is alien to CAMA and will no longer be accepted. Consequently, any written resolution signed on behalf of either a Nigerian or foreign Company would be accepted by the Commission notwithstanding the fact that the signature of the shareholder representative is not in our record and the document need not be under the common seal of the Company.
2. That the practice of including corporate bodies as directors in new incorporation documents and Forms CAC 7A describing them as directors will no longer be allowed.
