Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the influence of various macroeconomic factors, including the exchange rate, interest rate, inflation rate, and Gross Domestic Product, on the performance of the Nigerian Stock Exchange NSE 100 index. Utilizing a decade of annual data spanning from 2011 to 2021, this research employs the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test to explore the impact of these macroeconomic variables on stock market performance. Research methodology: Within this context, the time series Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model is employed to discern the ramifications of naira/US dollar exchange rate volatility on Nigeria’s stock market performance. Results: Multiple regression analysis results indicate a significant negative effect of the exchange rate on share returns, revealing that a 10% increase in the real exchange rate correlates with a 0.15% decrease in the ASPI. Similarly, the inflation rate is associated with a negative coefficient, suggesting an adverse effect on stock prices. In contrast, interest rates and GDP exhibit positive coefficients, with 5% and 10% impacts on the ASPI, respectively. Limitation: All data used in this study were secondary. However, data from previous years were not readily available. This is the main limitation of this study. Contribution: Ultimately, this study underscores the importance of forecasting the exchange rate as a pivotal determinant of business success, offering recommendations for future endeavors.

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

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the factors that influence the performance of students in Mai Idris Alooma Polytechnic Geidam Yobe State in the Northeastern Nigeria. Research methodology: The paradigm of this study is to use the final-year students of Mai Idris Alooma Polytechnic Geidam as independent variables. The dependent variables included factors influencing students’ academic performance. Factors included a) personal conditions, b) study habits, c) home-related aspects, d) school-related aspects, and e) lecturer-related factors. Results: The study identified different factors and the highest impact among the variables that influence the academic performance of students in institutions other than those traditionally studied. Among these five (5) domains, lecturer-related aspects and personal condition factors fall behind school-related factors. Nonetheless, both categories were still deemed highly impactful. Conversely, home-related factors and study habits had little effect on students’ academic performance in the case study. Limitations: The research analysis was limited to a self-report questionnaire gathered from final-year students Mai Idriss Alooma Polytechnic Geidam in October 2023. Contribution: With the outcome of this research, all students, particularly year one prospective students, and those students who are not as academically strong will be informed about the factors that influence their academic performance.
