“A Minor Can Be A Shareholder But Not A Director In A Nigerian Company.”

DAILY LAW TIPS by Onyekachi Umah,Esq.(Tip 153)

“A Minor Can Be A Shareholder But Not A Director In A Nigerian Company.”

A minor is one who is less than 18 years old. Such a person can be a shareholder in any company so far as they are at least 2 other shareholders who are adults. A minor can never be a director in any company in Nigeria. Directors see to the day to day running of a company and a minor obviously can’t handle such tasks.

My authorities are section 20 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act.

Share this till it gets to those that need it most. Save a Nigerian today!
