Document background
A General Meeting Resolution is a crucial corporate governance document used to record and formalize decisions made by shareholders during a company's general meeting in Nigeria. This document type is required under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020 and must be filed with the Corporate Affairs Commission. It serves multiple purposes: documenting meeting proceedings, recording attendance and quorum, capturing exact wordings of resolutions passed, and providing evidence of shareholder approval for corporate actions. The resolution document is essential for maintaining corporate records, demonstrating regulatory compliance, and implementing approved company decisions. It may be required for various corporate actions such as changing company structure, appointing directors, approving financial statements, or modifying the company's constitution.
