Every signature carries consequence

A signature is more than ink on paper, it can represent a commitment, create obligations, and determine the rights and responsibilities of the parties involved.

Before you sign, understand what you are agreeing to. Seek the right legal advice, ask the right questions, and make informed decisions.

Read. Understand. Then sign with confidence.

The Nigerian Supreme Court has consistently recognised the principle of freedom of contract and that parties are generally bound by the terms they freely agree to, while also permitting parties to vary their contractual obligations by mutual agreement. Provided the amendment is legally valid and complies with any formal requirements applicable to the contract.

However, when a contract was initially entered into in writing, any subsequent alteration or variation of the terms of such contract must also be in writing. In the case of Laramie v Data Processing Maintenance& Services Ltd (2005) 12 NWLR (Pt. 938) 429, the Supreme Court held that oral evidence cannot be used to alter or vary the terms of a written contract, and that any such variation must also be in writing.

The lesson?
Signing a contract does not mean the parties can never revisit its terms. If circumstances change, the parties may agree to modify their obligations, but the amendment should be properly documented and executed.

Before signing or amending an agreement, get proper legal advice. A seemingly simple change can have significant legal consequences.

Know what you’re signing. Know what you’re agreeing to.

WORLD LITERACY DAY!!!

Literacy is more than the ability to read and write, it is the key that unlocks knowledge, creates opportunities and empowers people to make informed choices.

A society that reads is a society that learns, grows and builds a better future.

At E&O Legal, we believe that knowledge empowers, and access to knowledge strengthens the rule of law.

Today, we celebrate the power of literacy to transform lives, open minds and create possibilities.

Read. Learn. Grow. Empower.

Confidence comes from knowing you’re protected ⚖️

In business, assumptions can create uncertainty, but clear and well-drafted agreements create certainty.

Before you enter a partnership, sign a contract, or commit to a business transaction, make sure your interests are properly protected.

Build on clarity. Build on certainty. Build with the right legal foundation.

🚨 DID YOU KNOW?

Being arrested does not mean you are guilty.

An arrest is only the beginning of the criminal process? it is not a conviction. Under Section 36(5) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), every person charged with a criminal offence is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

The courts have consistently upheld this important principle. In Emmanuel Ibeziako V Commisioner of Police (1963) 1 All NLR 61, the Supreme Court reaffirmed the constitutional presumption of innocence.

In addition, Section 35 of the Constitution protects the fundamental right to personal liberty and provides safeguards for people who are arrested or detained.

So, if you or someone you know is arrested, do not assume that nothing can be done. Know your rights, seek proper legal advice and insist that due process is followed.

⚖️ Know your rights. Protect your freedom.

A signed contract is not necessarily set in stone. Contracts can often be amended where all parties agree to the proposed changes.

Whether you want to change a payment term, extend a deadline, modify an obligation, or introduce a new provision, the amendment should be properly agreed upon and documented.

📌 The lesson?
Don’t assume that a contract can never be changed—and don’t make changes informally. Get the agreement of all relevant parties and document the amendment properly.

Before signing or amending a contract, seek appropriate legal advice to ensure your interests are protected.

⚖️ Know what you’re signing. Know your rights.
