#OBSCURELEGALFACTS BY AROME ABU

COMPANIES NEED NOT OWN CASH EQUIVALENT OF ITS SHARE CAPITAL; AN EXCEPTION.

In Nigeria, Companies may be registered with 1 Million, 2 Million, 5 million share capital etc, but they need not own the cash equivalence of their share capital.

However, in the case of a Bank, its shareholders must possess and deposit a sum equal to the minimum paid up share capital with the Central Bank of Nigeria.

See Section 3(2) of the Banks and other Financial Institutions Act.
