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.
