Virtual Corporate Meetings in Nigeria A Fall Out of the COVID 19 Pandemic

Abstract

Meetings are integral to the operations of statutory corporations and incorporated companies. However, based on the current pandemic, restrictions were placed on public gatherings which meant that corporations in Nigeria (which hitherto mostly had physical meetings), could not conveniently meet at physical venues. While it was a norm for groups to hold their meetings electronically, it is questionable if corporations in Nigeria could properly hold virtual General Meetings. This article seeks to consider the regularity or otherwise of Virtual General Meetings with regards to incorporated entities under the Corporate Affairs commission.
