Abuja, April 1, 2021 Yiaga Africa and other stakeholders have urged amendment of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020 to remove some restrictions on NGOs, faith based organisations and institutions.
A roundtable organised by Yiaga brought together stakeholders from Corporate Affairs Commission, Academia and Civil Society Organisations to identify gaps and chart the way forward in the CAMA Act 2020.
Yiaga Africa’s Director of Programmes, Cynthia Mbamalu, said that the organisation began its advocacy against obnoxious legislations in Nigeria starting with stakeholders’ roundtable to review CAMA 2020 for further legislative engagement.
Mbamalu said that Yiaga Africa presented its analysis of act where it identified certain provisions capable of derogating from citizens’ constitutionally guaranteed rights, including how the Act affected non-state actors, especially NGOs, religious and traditional institutions.
