Articles of Incorporation/Organization are essential founding documents required when establishing any company in Nigeria. These documents must be prepared and filed with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in accordance with the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020. They serve as the company's constitution, defining its fundamental structure, objectives, and operational parameters. The Articles outline crucial aspects such as share capital, management structure, shareholder rights, and corporate governance procedures. This documentation is mandatory for all types of companies in Nigeria, whether private or public, and forms the basis for the company's legal existence and operations. The contents must align with Nigerian law while being tailored to the specific needs and objectives of the incorporating entity.
