Abstract
This paper examines the laws governing the various types of company meetings in Nigeria. It examines the
law from the perspective of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, Cap C20, Laws of the Federation of
Nigeria, 2004. It also considers some salient points of law in view of the fact that a new Company Act
called the 2018 Company Act is awaiting presidential assent to bring it to force. The paper also details some
practical guides and rules which company secretaries should be aware of in the discharge of theirfunctions. The
paper concludes by making some recommendations which it believes will enhance the performance of the job of
company secretaries as compliance officers and custodians of good corporate governance, thereby adding value to
their respective organisations and to the satisfaction of all stakeholders.
