This thesis compares Nigerian shareholders' remedies to those in the Canada Business Corporations Act R.S.C. 1985, c. C-44. Its central objective is to measure the success of Nigerian corporate law in protecting the shareholders as well as to suggest how the Nigerian legislators and the judiciary might improve upon that protection. Essentially it weighs the remedies in the light of the socio-economic, political and cultural milieu in Nigeria.;Preliminary to undertaking such an investigation, this thesis will explore a number of jurisprudential schools of thought which analyse the corporate vehicle, either directly or indirectly. The reason for such a survey is to locate a theoretical approach which is adjusted to the value of encouraging economic growth, investment, and stability in a developing country like Nigeria. After assessing, in an introductory manner, the leading theoretical approaches to the corporate model, this thesis ultimately endorses the approach taken by the Neo-pragmatic school.
