The Director Employment Contract is a crucial legal document used when appointing executive directors to a company's board in Nigeria. It serves as the primary agreement governing the relationship between the company and its directors, ensuring compliance with the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020 and other relevant Nigerian legislation. This document is essential for both listed and private companies, typically implemented during new director appointments, renewals of existing appointments, or when updating terms to reflect changes in company policy or law.
