The Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020 was signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari in August 2020.

The Christian Association of Nigeria, says it will file a fresh suit against the Nigerian Government to prevent the implementation of certain provisions of the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020. Also, the leadership of CAN has called for mass prayers as they take the government up in a new legal battle.

“Therefore, this application lacks merit and ought to be dismissed and I hereby make an order dismissing same,” he ruled. It also urged the court to determine whether the provisions of Section 854 of the CAMA are inconsistent with section 39 of the Nigerian constitution which guarantees the right to freedom of expression.

Justice Inyang Ekwo stated that suing in the wrong name contrary to a statutory provision is statutory non-compliance and is not a mere misnomer to be corrected by the Court, as the court cannot re-write statutory provisions. Consequently, the suit was struck out. Amongst other reliefs, CAN would be asking the Court to determine “whether Section 839, subsections , and of the Companies and Allied Matters Act , 2020, is inconsistent with Sections 4, 6 and 40 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which guarantees the plaintiff’s right to freedom of association and the right to seek redress in court.
