Civil society organizations, including Global Rights, the Open Society Initiative Foundation, the Network of University Legal Aid Institutions (NULAI) Nigeria, and the TAP Initiative, have announced their intention to legally contest certain provisions of the Company and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020. They argue that these provisions infringe upon the constitutional right to fair hearing guaranteed by the Nigerian Constitution. The groups are mobilizing resources to challenge the powers granted to the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) under the Act, asserting that these powers may lead to constitutional breaches. This legal action reflects ongoing concerns regarding the implications of CAMA 2020 for civil liberties and governance in Nigeria.
