As AI continues to shape the way organisations operate, the questions for directors are becoming more important; Who is accountable when algorithms make decisions? What does responsible AI governance look like? And how do boards uphold their duty of care in this new environment?

These are some of the issues we will be unpacking at the 2026 Pre-Annual Corporate Governance Conference, themed: “Directors in the Age of Algorithms - AI Governance, Legal Accountability and the Board’s Duty of Care.”

Join us for an engaging conversation with industry experts as we examine what AI means for board oversight, accountability and decision-making.

Date remains 6 October 2026 and time, 10:00 AM
Lagos: Virtual + V.I, Lagos

Preparing for board meetings, advising directors and managing statutory obligations all require reliable, practical guidance.

That is the value Dr Michael Osilama Otu, Company Secretary and General Counsel of Zenith Bank Plc, highlights in his Preface to the Third Edition of the Company Secretary’s Guide on Corporate Governance:

“Rather than merely explaining legal and governance principles, it provides practical tools that practitioners can readily apply in their day-to-day responsibilities.”

With compliance checklists, meeting guides, planning schedules and reference materials, this edition is a working companion you can consult as you navigate the responsibilities of company secretarial practice.

Whether you are establishing yourself in the profession or bringing years of experience to the role, make this Guide part of your professional toolkit.
