This Executive Director Independent Contractor Agreement is designed for use by Nigerian companies seeking to engage executive-level directors in a non-employment capacity. It addresses the unique requirements of Nigerian corporate law under CAMA 2020 while maintaining the independent contractor status of the executive director. The document is particularly relevant when companies need flexible executive arrangements, such as part-time directors, advisory directors, or directors serving multiple boards. The agreement includes comprehensive provisions for director duties, corporate governance compliance, remuneration structures, and risk management, while ensuring clear distinction from employment relationships. It's specifically crafted to protect both parties' interests while maintaining compliance with Nigerian tax laws, labor regulations, and corporate governance requirements.
