Abstract

Purpose: Pension funds administrators (PFAs) are currently seen as reliable catalyst for steady economic growth and development. The need to ensure management of pension funds in the best possible ways or most effective manner was borne out of the need to ensure that they yield better returns on investment. This study attempts to offer answers to three issues based on evidence from Nigeria. We attempt to find (a) to what extent has the density of pension contribution influence the investment performance of PFAs? (b) to what extent has idle contribution affect the investment performance of PFAs? And (c) to what extent does the pension contribution size induce the investment performance of PFAs? Method: We applied the generalized least square (GLS) regression based on PFAs performance between 2014 and 2023, evaluate the connection between four financial assets that the PFAs in Nigeria invest in and the investment returns. Results: We find that density of the contribution, idle contribution, contribution size, total pension fund assets and leverage are critical in determining the investment performance. A positive coefficient was reported for the adopted regressors for contribution density. This implied that the selected PFAs could improve their performance considerably if credence is given to their contribution density because contribution density is major key driver of a PFAs performance. Novelty: We recommend measures that would boost the sustainability of pension funds, securing better retirement outcomes for contributors and strengthening Nigeria’s financial ecosystem.

Abstract

Poverty is one of the world's biggest issues, particularly in third-world countries. Nigeria is not an exception to the rule that governments everywhere have been developing various economic and social policies or programs to lower the poverty rate inside their borders. It is well known that cooperative groups, particularly at the medium and micro levels, have proven essential to economic progress. This study investigates the impact of micro-credit on poverty eradication in Nigeria. To examine whether microcredit facilitates a decline in poverty, we use a simple linear model to test the hypothesis that cooperative societies greatly impact poverty, using primarily sourced data from Cooperative Societies in Oyo State. The impact of timely access to micro-credit, credit lending rate, and technical support have negative and significant coefficients of -0.229, -0.242, and -0.231. This supposes that any increase in all variables will result in a drop in poverty alleviation among agribusiness cooperators. The outcome demonstrates that a cooperative society has significantly raised the living standards of its members. This shows that cooperative societies are important in reducing poverty. They offer financial and technical services, which help low-income earners whom traditional financial institutions do not primarily support. We suggest using legislative approaches to keep cooperative societies relevant to Nigeria's efforts to reduce poverty.

Abstract

Purpose: The study aims to investigate whether specific dimensions of board diversity enhance firm performance. Method: Panel data from the period of 2015 and 2022, covering 20 listed firms, were analyzed using both OLS and Fixed Effects techniques. Board diversity variables included the proportion of female directors, board members with PhDs, and foreign directors. Control variables included firm age, leverage, asset size, CSR experience, and board size. Two measures of financial performance were used: return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). Results: The results indicate that the female board has a positive but insignificant effect on ROA and a negative, though also insignificant, effect on ROE. PhD board members show a negative effect on ROA and a weak positive effect on ROE. Foreign board members exhibit mixed effects, positively influencing ROE but negatively associated with ROA, with both insignificant. The Fixed Effects results confirm these patterns, with all board diversity variables showing insignificant impacts. Implications: The findings suggest that while board diversity is a socially valuable governance goal, its financial impact may be limited or context-specific in Nigeria’s industrial and commercial sectors. Regulators and policymakers are encouraged to mandate greater transparency in board composition disclosures, allowing stakeholders to better assess the strategic and symbolic value of board diversity. Novelty: This study contributes to the limited empirical literature on corporate governance in sub-Saharan Africa. It provides robust, model-based evidence on how different dimensions of board composition interact with financial outcomes in the Nigerian context.

Abstract

Purpose: The issue of high-quality financial reporting is of concern to financial report users and the entire economy since it influences financial decisions. This paper examines the relationship between audit attributes and the financial reporting quality of deposit money banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. Method: The paper applied the Generalized Least Square (random effects) regression to analyze how audit fees, audit firm independence, auditor tenure, and other controlled variables affect the quality of financial reporting of DMBs during 2014–2022. Results: The findings reveal that the main variables—audit fees, auditor tenure, and audit firm independence: have positive and significant impacts on financial reporting quality. Specifically, a unit change in audit fees, auditor tenure, and audit firm independence increases earnings quality by 0.104, 0.081, and 0.223, respectively. When client asset size, audit firm type, and firm growth are controlled for, they also exert positive and significant effects on financial reporting quality. Implications: The findings have implications for DMBs, capital market stakeholders, and the broader economy. The study recommends measures to ensure enhanced financial reporting quality for Nigerian DMBs, including the need for management and regulatory bodies to place strong emphasis on the independence of audit firms in all facets of auditors’ work. Novelty: This study contributes to the financial reporting literature by empirically demonstrating how specific audit attributes improve financial reporting quality in Nigeria’s banking sector, offering evidence from a developing economy context that has been underexplored in prior research.
