Corporate Governance :- Company Meetings in Nigeria

0

One of the most important post-incorporation compliance requirements for a company in Nigeria is the direction for its directors, management and members to have specific types of meetings for the purpose of charting the course of the company’s progression as well as for the purpose of passing resolutions authorizing certain actions or transactions of the company.

This article will be talking about the following subtopics of :

– Notices of Company meetings under Nigerian law

– The persons entitled to notices of company meetings in Nigeria

– The types of company meetings in Nigeria.

How are notices of company meetings to be passed under Nigerian law?

Notices of meetings are to be prepared by a company secretary and passed to all persons entitled to attend such meetings.

What is the time frame/length of notices of company meetings under Nigerian law?

Notices of company meetings under Nigerian law are to be for no longer than 21 days from the date of the notice being passed by the company’s secretary.

This does not mean that shorter notices cannot be called by a majority of a company’s members having voting rights and entitlements to notices of a company meeting.

Who are the persons entitled to a notice of a company meeting?

The persons entitled to notices if a company meeting include :-

– Legal representatives of members of a company (this would also apply to trustees of the estates of members of the company).

– Shareholders/members of a company.

– The Company Secretary of a company.

– All directors of a company.

– Every auditor of the company.

What should be the contents of a notice of a company meeting in Nigeria?

A notice of a company meeting must specify the date, place and venue of the meeting as well as details of the general business to be deliberated on at the meeting.

A notice of a company meeting is also to specify if a resolution is to be considered & voted on at the meeting as well as the details of the proposed resolution.

It should also be states that the purpose of a meeting is for transacting ordinary business of the company where the notice is for an Annual General Meeting(AGM).

What are the types of company meetings in Nigeria?

The types of company meetings currently allowed under Nigerian law are :-

Statutory Meetings :- Which must be held within 6 months of a company’s incorporation followed by the filing of a statutory report with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). Failure to hold this type of meeting may be a ground for compulsorily winding up the company under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA).

Statutory Meetings apply only to Public Limited Liability Companies (PLCs).

Annual General Meetings (AGMs) :- This is a mandatory meeting for all companies in Nigeria which must be held within 18 months of a company’s registration.

All business to be transacted at an AGM are special except for :-

a). The declaration of dividends

b). The election of directors to replace retiring ones

c). The appointment and remuneration of auditors

d). The appointment of audit committee members

e). The presentation of financial statements

f). The presentation of directors and auditor’s reports.

Extraordinary General Meetings (EGMs) :- These are Non- AGM meetings that can be called by –

a). The board of directors of a company or any single director.

b). Members with no less than 10% paid-up capital or 10% voting rights

c). Retiring directors of a company.

– Court-ordered meetings on the application of a member/shareholder or director of a company.

What are the conditions for holding a valid company meeting in Nigeria?

The conditions of a valid meeting are :-

– The required notice within the stated time length given under the CAMA must be given .

– The meeting must be held in Nigeria.

– There must be a quorum or attendance of the minimum number of directors/shareholders necessary to make a voting quorum/majority.

– For PLCs, the notices of meetings must be published in at least 2 daily newspapers.

Can company meetings be held virtually?

No they cannot. To legally circumvent this you would either need to apply to the Federal High Court for a Court-ordered meeting or simply rely on a written resolution if your company is a Private Limited Liability Company (Ltd) .

Why Elon says ‘Web 3 sounds more like Marketing than Reality’ and what to do, to fix that.

0

Recently, I watched a short video clip where Elon Musk said these profound words. In many ways he is right.

Elon said – ‘Web 3 sounds more like Marketing than Reality’.

Why is he right?

Well first we have to ask ourselves what is Web 3?

‘Web 3.0 is an open-source, censorship-free place where you own your identity and choose how to share your personal information, can store data without the need for trusted middlemen’ (article – Powered by DeFi, NFTs and Web 3.0, Decentralized Social Media Seeks to Unseat Tech Giants)

‘The significance of a decentralized web or internet is that it is based on blockchain technology. Like cryptocurrency, it is meant to be autonomous, secure, anonymous, and free from the control of any central entity. It is intended to provide a system that operates outside the central governance of ICANN and in a different way from them’

Emersion in this decentralized, container like, ecosystem is the core criteria for virtual products to carry the ‘Web 3’ tag. Without it, they are simply a disparate set of blockchain assets, sometimes referred to as ‘Blockchain of Things’ (BoT). ( from articles by Peter Oluka, Issac Umunna, Bukola Olanrewaju and others).

The Stack visualization is not just a differentiation of 3 distinct aspects of blockchain decentralization. It is also a step by step evolution from digital asset project to blockchain project and on to Web 3 project. The last step is often not realized.

Here we see the 3 notional support pillars of Decentralization. Column 1, Coin Minting, gives us Decentralized Money.

Column 2, Tokenization

[Aside – Only Tokenization under protocol ERC 721 produce ‘NFTs’. This is an Ethereum based protocol, though there are several others. By design, tokenization happening on any other blockchains are not NFTs]

Tokenization creates secure irreputable title to a huge variety of digital assets. Decentralized Ownership.

Column 3, Web 3 is about Decentralized Identity, Decentralized Access as well as Decentralized Engagement for people. When the earlier quote said: ‘Emersion in this decentralized, container like, ecosystem..’ the emersion is not limited to VR headsets as a device.

 

People are often confused between the concept of ‘Emersion’ for Web 3. It is about having secure, untracked access into decentralized ecosystems through decentralized access tools. It is not necessarily leading to a virtual reality environment, and it can involve a wide array of I/O (Input/Output) devices.

Web 3 is about creating a safe decentralized space where Blockchain and other assets can be accessed by individuals whose identity is secured and protected.

I recently ran a poll on LinkedIn looking at where Web 3 development teams actually are with their assets during the development process, and only 25% of them claimed to be in Web 3.

I would even seriously wonder about that 25% attainment, because firstly, several of those who chose to participate are actually NOT active in digital or coding projects, and some others may be fully aware of the message its sending, depending on how they reply, and so are giving political answers.

The likelihood is validation would revise this 25% down.

Evolution of Digital Product to Tokenized Product and then Web 3 Product.

The poll illustrates that the concept of any digital asset or product project being Web3 from initiation is an illusion. It starts out being nowhere near blockchain activity at all.

It may then pass to Pillar 2, where it becomes tokenized. From there it may pass to the Web 3 stage… or not. Most do not.

Web 3 was never intended to be about a different product experience or superior technical ability of product. It is about the freedom from ICANN certificate authority processes supported by  .com .xyz, io etc. ; Freedom from the scrutiny of the mobile network operator, and not having your phone number demanded of you. Web 3 is about dominion over your data. No personalized adds, no AI behavioural learning. No social selling to ‘partners’. It is a compliance step that currently can only be served by a very limited set of tool providers.

Providers of the tools that can make the identity, information sovereignty, trustless access, and ecosystem decentralization of Web 3 compliance a reality, for REAL Web3 Projects.

Facebook was in a Social Media Space on its own before it saw competition from products such as Twitter, Instagram and Tik Tok, but it was by no means the first Social Media Platform. Facebook was preceded by  Friendster, MySpace, and Hi5. The granddaddy of them all,  SixDegrees, was released in 1997.

While O Reilly floated the idea earlier, the first considered thoughts of Web 2 didn’t come until around 2009. Two things happened that year. It was the year Pinterest was launched, but more important, it was also the start of Bitcoin.

Web 2 didn’t start to get regular mentions until this decade, and that has been usually in the context of people attempting to misrepresent Web 3.

Humankind is expected to believe that all the way back to 1997, until relatively recently, we have all been using an iteration of technologies called ‘Web 2’ without having the slightest clue that we were doing that? …. Unlikely!

I lost a node to the Handshake Core at 3pm, and it took me until 4:30am to get it back. I ran out of cups of coffee.

Sure, there are challenges with integration and providing the means for Web 3 , the problem is that rather than face the challenges along with Web 3 ecosystem tool providers together, project sponsors are just choosing to go ahead anyway, and call stuff Web 3 when it isn’t.

It’s clear that the concept of Web 2, only vaguely mentioned in ‘thought’ circles around a decade ago, has trailed into mass media behind COVID 19. It’s been resurrected posthumously to create a road map alibi for selling Blockchain of Things (BoT) or ‘Web 3 Ready’ as Web 3.

‘A while back, I spoke to an (disillusioned) applicant who had solid web3 experience…it seemed like his job was to just ‘put a ribbon on it’ so they could serve the next web3 client.’ (Owen Healy, Head-Hunter for Devs building off Blockchain).

When what is realizable is given specifications and a buzz word name (Web 3), and commercial interests drive a specification reboot around products only half way there, then that is MARKETING.

Somebody less gracious than Elon Musk would call that something different to ’ more like Marketing than Reality’ but he is clearly being economical with criticism here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqFeFmE6oMU

Elon is on the money, as usual.

And it will take more than a ribbon to realize the ‘Web 3’ that will change his mind.

The ball is in the marketers court, but the truth is out!

EU Launches Campaign to Promote Job Creation For Youths in Africa

0

Due to the high unemployment rate ravaging the African continent, the European Union (EU) has partnered with Africa, by launching a campaign tagged ‘we see Africa’, which is aimed at job creation.

The Africa–EU campaign reflects on some of the initiatives that position the two continents as model, ambitious, dynamic, and reliable partners.

It also highlights the strength of the partnership, which has brought together people and institutions of both continents in pursuit of common goals for a better world.

The campaigns will run simultaneously in Nigeria, Cameroon, Congo, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe, and build on the resounding success of a previous one conducted across seven other African countries from 2020-2021.

The selected faces for the campaign in Nigeria are Nigerian musician and “Billionaire” crooner Teniola Akpata Aka Teni, content creator Eniola Adeoluwa popularly known as Eni, and 32-year-old Frederick, a local shoe manufacturer, and Ogola Lois Kange.

Speaking to the press in Lagos on the development of the campaign, EU Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Ms. Samuela Isopi, said: “Youths are major targets of the scheme. We will work with national influencers to express our shared values and aspirations; showcase local success stories generated by our partnership; and connect with a new audience of young Africans, leveraging pop culture.

Africa shares a rich history with the EU, its closest neighbor. Collaborating with Africa to find a solution to common challenges is, more than ever before, a key priority for the EU.

“Our long history of interaction and geographical proximity has over the years, inspired us to be creative and ambitious in the way we confront our common problems; preserve our shared values, and work towards our common interest and goals.”

Ms. Isopi further added that Nigeria which is Africa’s most populous nation, is a key partner of the EU within the African continent, noting that the vibrancy, dynamism, motivation, and resilience of Nigeria’s young population reflect the uniqueness of a continent-fired-up by imaginative ideas and relentless optimism. From the prism of Nigeria, the EU sees Africa.

She disclosed that within the context of its strategic partnership with Nigeria, the EU has been providing support to the country to promote peace and security, democratic governance and rule of law, human rights and freedoms, and prosperity.

Key features of the EU’s cooperation with Nigeria include regular political and policy dialogues and strengthened collaboration to fight violent extremism, and improve indices of human development, good governance, migration, trade, and regional integration.

This is not the first time the EU is partnering with the African continent, it has done so on several occasions. In March 2022, the EU strengthened its partnership with WHO to boost local manufacturing and access to vaccines, medicines and health technologies in Africa.

Looking at its ‘we see Africa’ campaign which is aimed at job creation for youths, it will really transform the African continent. According to the world bank, Youths account for 60% of all of Africa’s jobless, noting that in African countries, youth unemployment occurs at a rate more than twice that for adults.

Africa has a large population of vibrant youths, which when equipped with relevant jobs, will contribute greatly to the African economy.
