10. Is there a ban on donations from corporations with government contracts to candidates?

"No association, other than a political party, shall canvass for votes for any candidate at any election or contribute to the funds of any political party or to the election expenses of any candidate at an election"  Section 221, Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended.

Corporations are not allowed to donate. Technically, legal entities cannot donate at all. However, the status and role of entities concerning political donations is unclear. Likewise, within the legislation, the role of candidates is also misleading. Thus, the legislation remains contradictory.
