What records are needed to register a charitable NGO with CAC in Nigeria?

Vous devez enregistrer un fiduciaire incorporé auprès de la Commission des affaires corporatives pour obtenir cela. Les documents nécessaires sont une pièce d’identité, les autres documents peuvent être fournis par votre avocat. Vous avez besoin d’au moins deux personnes pour que cela soit enregistré. Vous pouvez soit m’appeler, soit m’envoyer un message direct, ne créez pas de piste si vous devez poser d’autres questions ou rencontrer l’avocat le plus proche de chez vous. J’espère que cela vous aide
