If you are running an NGO in Nigeria, you cannot afford to get the legal side wrong.

Most NGOs lose funding, credibility, and donor trust not because their work is bad — but because of avoidable legal, compliance, and structural mistakes that funders can spot immediately.

This session is designed to change that.

On Thursday 28th May 2026 at 6PM WAT, Impact Padi is hosting a live virtual session bringing together experienced Nigerian lawyers and development practitioners to walk you through everything your NGO needs to be legally sound, donor-ready, and built to last.

What this session covers:

How to legally register your NGO in Nigeria — the right way
CAC requirements, timelines, and the common mistakes most founders make
NGO compliance, annual returns, and governance obligations
Tax, employment, and data protection basics every NGO must know
The legal structures that funders and donors actually expect to see before they give you money

Who is speaking:

Agnes Onyekwere-Disu — Social Impact Media Strategist (Host)
Ivie Ogiemwonyi — Lawyer & Development Practitioner (Guest)
Faith Chamtibwe Jonathan — Legal Practitioner (Guest)
Ebikeniye Joseph — Legal Practitioner (Guest)

These are not people speaking in theory. They work in this space. They have seen what kills NGOs from a legal standpoint and they are here to make sure yours is not one of them.

What you get when you register:

Regular Access — 10,000 Naira

Live access to the full 2-hour virtual session on Zoom
A free media strategy for your NGO — personalized gap analysis and recommendations

This is not a webinar where you listen and leave with nothing actionable.

By the end of this session, you will know exactly where your NGO stands legally, what you need to fix, and how to present your organisation in a way that builds trust with donors, partners, and regulators.

Whether you are just starting out or you have been running your NGO for years, this session will give you clarity and confidence that most NGO founders in Nigeria simply do not have.
