Document background
Association Meeting Minutes are essential documents required under Nigerian law, particularly the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020, to record the proceedings and decisions of formal association meetings. These minutes serve multiple purposes: they provide a legal record of decisions, demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements, and offer historical documentation of the association's governance. The document is used whenever formal meetings occur, whether regular scheduled meetings, annual general meetings, or extraordinary general meetings. It must include specific details such as attendance, quorum confirmation, resolutions passed, and voting results. The minutes become part of the association's permanent records and may be required by regulatory authorities or referenced in legal proceedings. In Nigeria, these documents must be maintained for at least six years from the date of the meeting.
