Under Nigeria's Stamp Duties Act, certain corporate documents must be duly stamped before they can be relied upon for legal or financial purposes. Banks and financial institutions routinely require stamped documents before processing loan applications or maintaining corporate accounts.
An unstamped document may be deemed inadmissible in evidence and legally ineffective. This can disrupt business operations, halt credit lines, and delay or derail manufacturing expansion plans tied to factory loans.
Companies are advised to ensure all incorporation documents, board resolutions, loan agreements, and other corporate instruments are properly stamped at the relevant stamp duties office to avoid compliance risks.
