(Tip 99)
“Compulsory Estate Association is Illegal in Nigeria”.
Every person has a right to associate and not to associate. Estate associations like any other association are supposed to be freely joined and cannot be compulsory. Hence, you can choose not to be a member or relate with such Association in your estate and you will not be bound by decisions and resolutions of such association.
See section 40 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.
