Do note that this is going to be a proxy AGM, in compliance with directives set out by the government towards minimising the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic. Part of the statement by the company said:
“The Federal Government of Nigeria, State Governments, Health Authorities and Regulatory Agencies have issued a number of guidelines and directives aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19 in Nigeria.
“Particularly, the Lagos State Government prohibited the gathering of more than 20 people while the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) issued Guidelines on Holding AGM of Public Companies by Proxy. The convening and conduct of the AGM shall be done in compliance with these directives and guidelines.”
