Community Meeting Minutes are essential documents in Nigerian community governance, serving as the official record of community gatherings, decisions, and actions. These minutes must comply with the Nigerian Freedom of Information Act 2011 and local government regulations while respecting traditional governance structures. The document is used to record attendance, document discussions, formalize decisions, assign responsibilities, and track progress on community initiatives. It plays a crucial role in maintaining transparency, ensuring accountability, and providing legal evidence of community decisions.
