Onianwa et al. question the process and procedure that banks and other financial institutions implement in M&A deals and make recommendations on how the process can be streamlined.

    Professor Gbolahan Elias, SAN, Principal, G.E. Elias & Co in this monumental work “An Examination of General Merger Control Exemptions” analyses the state of Nigerian law with regards to preview and review in cases of mergers, acquisitions and business combinations. He argues that as the law stands, small deals are the only clear exemption from our rules calling for mergers and acquisitions deals to get prior regulatory review and approval for competition law purposes. Drawing on international comparison, the paper argues that the holding company exemption provided for in the Investments and Securities Act is questionable and advocated the need to add exemptions for real estate deals, intra-group deals, investment companies and certain foreign and governmental deals.
