Persons with significant control

The ownership register

Who the press reports as owning or controlling Nigerian companies, grouped from the reports that mention it: one card per holder and company. Disclosed stakes come first, then control without a stake, then board roles.

The numbers count ownership claims only, not board roles. 5 cards are board roles with no reported stake. 8 of 25 extracted records did not pass the validation gate (7 with no source, 1 judged implausible) and are not published.

Disclosure bands · CAMA 2020 s.868

Nigeria requires disclosure from 5%, not the 25% used in the UK. Holdings in the 5–25% band are the ones international tools miss.

3 of 7 holdings have a reported stake.
