Did you know that Electronic Signatures are Legally Recognized under Nigerian Law?
Electronic signatures are fully recognised under Nigerian law. The Evidence Act 2011 supports their use in place of handwritten signatures; the Cybercrimes Act 2015 also affirms their validity for a wide range of transactions including commercial contracts, digital forms and online purchases. While many agreements can be concluded electronically, certain documents, such as wills, some family-law instruments and select court filings, may still require traditional execution.
