Judge Tasks Clerics On CAMA

Following criticisms by the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, churches and christians against the recently passed law on Companies and Allied Matters Act, CAMA 2020, a High Court Judge in Rivers State, Justice Adolphus Enebeli, has urged religious bodies, particularly the church to propose an amendment to sections of the law they believe have impeded their fundamental rights to freedom of association and administrative rights of the Church.
Justice Enebeli while speaking as a Special Guest Lecturer at a function organized by the Rivers State Chapter of Nigeria Association of Adventist Lawyers, said it was better to seek constitutional and legal redress than to disobey the law.
Justice Enebelii however, frowned at certain provisions of CAMA 2020 that took away and ceded the administrative, democratic and fundamental rights of the Church to a Federal Government agency; the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC.
The erudite judge noted that CAMA 2020 was not a bad law for the profit-oriented organisations
On his part, Chairman of Rivers State Chapter of Nigeria Association of Adventist Lawyers, Victor Nweke, explained that the essence of the programme was to sensitise the church members on the existence of the law and to seek ways of addressing imminent challenges in future.
Various speakers at the sensitisation programme said although the Adventist Church was not associated with such leadership or fraudulent crisis that could warrant the federal government take over her management affairs, it was necessary to take early steps, as no one knows the sinister motives any one could come up with in the future.
