Artificial Intelligence is already shaping credit decisions, fraud detection, onboarding and other financial decisions in Nigeria. But when an algorithm makes a decision that materially affects a customer, who is legally responsible?

Nigeria’s regulatory framework does not prohibit automated decision-making: it places accountability on the institutions that deploy it. The algorithm may decide. The institution remains accountable.

In our latest article, Joshua Daranijo, Izuchukwu Ibeanusi and Victor Abass explore the legal framework for AI-driven decisions, regulatory obligations for financial institutions and practical steps for responsible AI governance in Nigerian financial services.

Did you know the person whose name appears on the CAC register as a shareholder is not always the person who truly owns or controls the company.

Through nominee shareholder arrangements, trusts, or other corporate structuring mechanisms, legal ownership can be separated from beneficial ownership and actual control.

That distinction has become increasingly important. Today, regulators, financial institutions, and counterparties are looking beyond the share register to identify the Ultimate Beneficial Owner which refers to the individual who ultimately owns or exercises effective control over the company.

So, when someone asks, ‘Whose name is on the CAC documents?’ that is often only the starting point. In modern corporate practice, understanding who ultimately owns, benefits from, and controls the company is what really matters.
