DAILY LAW TIPS (Tip 389) by Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LLM.

WHEN CAN SINGLE PERSON SIGN AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF A
COMPANY.

A Company signs and executes deeds by affixing company’s seals
in the presence of the company secretary and a director.
To enable a single person to sign and execute agreements on behalf
of any company within or outside Nigeria, such company has to give
a written appointment to such person. It has to be written under
seal of the company and signed by the company secretary and a
director, authorising such person to represent and executive all or
some specific agreements on behalf of the company.
Note that any agreement signed on behalf of a company by such
person duly appointed and authorised by a company to do so, is
binding on the company as if it was made and signed by the
company’s secretary and a director with company’s seal.

My authorities are sections 76 and 610 of of the Companies and
Allied Matters Act, 1990.
