The Security Agreement Form is a fundamental document in Nigerian secured lending practices, used to create and perfect security interests over assets as collateral for financial obligations. This document is essential when a party (typically a lender) requires security over assets owned by another party (typically a borrower) to secure repayment of a loan or performance of other obligations. The agreement must comply with Nigerian law, particularly the Secured Transactions in Movable Assets Act 2017, Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020, and other relevant legislation. It typically accompanies facility agreements, loan documents, or other primary financing arrangements, providing the security holder with enforceable rights over the secured assets in case of default. The document requires registration with appropriate authorities, including the National Collateral Registry, to ensure its effectiveness against third parties.
