Religious leaders who are aggrieved over the provisions of the Company and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020 have been advised by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to approach the National Assembly for redress. Sections of the bill which was signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari on August 7, stipulates that religious bodies and charity organisations will be regulated by the registrar-general of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and a supervising minister. CAMA also provides that the commission may suspend the trustees of an association or a religious body and appoint an interim manager to coordinate its affairs where it believes there has been misconduct or mismanagement.

But Osinbajo on Thursday, August 27, during a speech at the annual general conference of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) said the religious leaders can make recommendations to the National Assembly for the law to be amended. “We are in a democracy and there is a process by which things can be done and that process is the one where you bring forward amendments to the National Assembly and they will do whatever is considered useful in the circumstance," he said. Meanwhile, President Buhari has been asked by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) to rescind his assent to the CAMA 2020. The group wants him to send the legislation back to the National Assembly to address its fundamental flaws, including removal of what it termed "repressive provisions of the Act".
