SIR: Our attention has been drawn to comments by one Dennis Aghanya of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) that the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) is an illegal entity.
We wish to inform members of the public that the NGF is duly registered, with Registration number CAC/IT/NO/31439, under Part C of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 1990. Needless to point out that CAMA is an Act of the National Assembly and forms part of the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria.
While we respect everyone’s right to hold opinions regarding the NGF or any other organisation, we take serious exception to any insinuation that the NGF is illegal. To call for the disbanding of a legitimate association of Nigerians is not only mischievous and irresponsible; it is an infringement on the constitutional rights of its members to freedom of association as guaranteed under Section 40 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.
