Umuahia are generally low in their level of awareness of their rights.
Awareness was high in respect of those right which companies are by law to
abide with ,such as the AGM and the financial statements. It was found that
size of shareholding is not a significant violable of the level of awareness.
The Chi-Square tests of significance also showed that the level of education is
an important thctor influencing the level of awareness. In general, the higher
the level of education the higher the level of awareness. A Hypothesis tested
showed that the nature of the company in which a shareholder owns share has
effect on his level of awareness Hence, shareholders in quoted companies
generally low in their level of awareness compared to shareholders in unquoted
companies. But the size of shareholding will only he a significant factor
influencing the willingness to enforce their rights. On the basis of the
findings, the researcher recommended the following among others. (a) Companies
should be compelled to hold their AGM's at their members catchments areas.
