The Companies and Allied Matters Act Bill, sponsored by Senator Yahaya Abdullahi of Kebbi North, has been passed by the Senate on Tuesday.

According to Abdullahi, the bill, when signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari, will help to boost investment in Nigeria.

“The business landscape in Nigerian will be reorganized and liberated from the heavy constraints of several provisions in the CAMA.

“The defects in the Bill are obstructing modern business practices in the light of national and global business reforms.

“The Bill also seeks to provide an efficient means of regulating businesses and minimize the compliance burden of small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

“It would enhance transparency and shareholder engagement, and promote a friendly business climate in Nigeria.The Bill will also address the seeming stagnancy and primitive methods of doing business in Nigeria.
