In a landmark decision, the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal has upheld a Federal High Court judgment nullifying several provisions of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), reports THISDAYLIVE. The ruling concerns the Corporate Affairs Commission’s (CAC) powers over religious groups, a matter that has sparked controversy and debate in recent years.
According to THISDAYLIVE, the judgment was delivered on October 3rd, 2026. The specific provisions of CAMA that were nullified are yet to be specified in the report. This ruling could have significant implications for religious organizations in Nigeria, as it challenges the CAC’s authority over these groups.
The case is a significant development in the ongoing dialogue about the relationship between religion and government in Nigeria. As the country navigates complex issues of governance and faith, this court decision adds to the discourse and may shape future policies affecting religious organizations.
