Abstract

The main objective of the study was to investigate the influence of indirect tax, direct tax, oil revenue, total debt on foreign reserves in Nigeria from 1980 to 2019. Ex post factor research design was adopted in this research and data was analyzed with the aid of Ordinary Least Square multi linear regression technique. The study found out that, there is a negative and statistically significant influence of indirect tax and direct tax on foreign reserves in Nigeria. Similarly, it was discovered that oil revenue and total debt has positive and non-statistical significant influence on foreign reserves. The study concluded that there is an influence of oil revenue and total debt on foreign reserves, as well as no influence of indirect tax and direct tax on foreign reserves. In addition, the lack of influence of indirect tax and direct tax shows that government has not being taking advantage of its taxation to generate enough revenue to meet its expenditures, as well as boost foreign reserves. And suggested that government should not depend mainly on oil revenue to meet expenditure and sustain its foreign reserves, but should try as much as possible to diversify the economy towards the creation, encouragement and sustenance of small scale and medium industries, and the development and extraction of non-oil mineral resources for export to boost its foreign reserves. Lastly, government should enhance its revenue generation in taxes to meet its expenditures to give room for the revenue generated through crude oil to increase foreign reserves.

Abstract

Purpose: Inquire into the significant correlation allying corporate governance mechanisms (CGMs) with financial performance (FP) of the prominent quoted cement firms in Nigeria. Methodology/approach: The study use panel data statistical modelling to investigate the time-dependent effects across different firms. The data analysis is based on a purely numerical dataset obtained through desk research, which was then scrutinized using the STATA 14.0 software package along with suitable statistical and econometric tools. Results/findings: The findings indicate a positive correlation between board structures and the FP of the selected cement companies in Nigeria. While the size of the board does not significantly influence performance, the presence of independent directors on the board positively affects financial performance. Conversely, there is a negative correlation between directors' compensation and the financial performance of these firms, suggesting that an increase in directors' compensation may lead to a decline in financial FP. Conclusion: The study concludes that there is a positive relationship between board structures and the financial performance, though board size is not a critical factor but the presence of independent directors on the board positively impacts financial performance. Limitations: The analysis is confined to five years Annual report and financial statements of three major firms in the Nigerian cement industry, covering a period from 2019 to 2023 using Panel-Corrected Standard Errors Regression model. Contribution: This comprehensive study evaluates the current state of corporate governance practices (CGPs) in Nigeria, aiming to identify improvements for CG policies.

Abstract

Objective The major objective of this paper is to examine the existence of a mutual consen-sus on the effect of tax revenue and non-tax revenue on public debt in Nigeria.Design/methodology The study uses documentary research design. Data was collect-ed using secondary method of data collection from Debt Management office and Bureau of statistics and Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin data bank. Ordinary Least Square Multi regression model was used in analyzing the dataResults The research found out that there is a negative an insignificant relationship be-tween tax revenue, non-tax revenue and interest rate in relation to Nigerian public debt. Moreover, the paper found out that exchange rate and population rate had significant and positive relationship with Nigerian public debt.Limitation/Suggestion The implication of the study is that, the contribution of tax revenue to the reduction of public debt is minimal as could be shown from the results. While, non-tax revenue contributed more than tax revenue in public debt reduction in Nigeria. In addition, increase in exchange rate, and population rate contributed more to increase in pub-lic debt, while, an increase in interest rate does not increase public debt but rather it discour-ages the government from collecting more debt and push the government to go for other rev-enue sources that where not assessed. The study recommended that; government should harness untapped taxes to increase tax revenue generation to pay interest on loan and princi-pal. Must of the information at the researcher disposal used for the study was for 15 years, from 2003 to 2018. Thus, studies need to be conducted involving more year like from 20 years upward to see whether it will change the result.Novelty/Originality The originality of this research lies on the government inability to generate enough tax revenue and non-tax revenue to meet expenditure without collecting debt. This is because collection of debt always leads to frequent increase in debt burden in Nigeria. Fewer or no one has carried out a careful analysis of the relationship between tax and non-tax revenue against total debt in Nigeria.

Abstract

Objective The paper is aimed at examining the relationship between government tax revenue, non-tax revenue and government expenditure in Nigeria. Design/methodology Quantitative research design was employed. Secondary data were collected from Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin, World Bank, World Data Atlas and Federal Inland Revenue Service. The study covers the period of 2010 to 2018. Meanwhile descriptive statistics was used to analyzed the data.Results The findings of the study discovered that, there is a relationship between government revenue and government expenditure, and the Nigerian government revenue and expenditure is in line with the spend-and-revenue hypothesis. That is government revenue only respond to previous changes in expenditure. Thus, government is expected to generate enough tax revenue to enable it meet government expenses as revenue from oil is decreasing. This signifies that whenever there is high government expenditure, it is required that government must raise higher revenue, and in Nigeria, government expenditure is always higher than the revenue resulting to budget deficit. In addition, tax revenue was found to have been increasing even though at a slower rate.Limitation/Suggestion - The study recommends that Nigerian government should cut down current expenditures on wages, acquisition of goods and services that are unnecessary and increase capital expenditure. Increase in capital expenditures on education, infrastructures and health care will boast the economic activity and which will in turn increases government tax revenue.
