APPOINTMENT OF FOREIGN DIRECTORS
The Current Regulation on the Appointment of Foreign Directors The promoters of business ventures in Nigeria are free to appoint directors of their choice, either foreign or Nigerian, and the directors may be resident or non-resident. The application to the NIPC must reflect the names of the proposed Nigerian and foreign directors (with an indication of resident and non-resident directors). The Business Permit Certificate consequently issued following such application usually reflects the respective names of the proprietors of the company,as well as the directors representing each proprietor or co-proprietor.Payments of foreign directors’ fees are remittable |
      |
|
| in the same manner as dividends accruing to the foreign company. However, since such fees are taxed at source (5% as a withholding tax), each foreign director’s fees are remittable subject to satisfactory evidence that the taxable amounts on such fees have been paid. | ||
