Background of the Study
Leadership succession planning is the strategic process of identifying and developing future leaders within an organization to ensure smooth transitions in key leadership roles. Succession planning is critical for business continuity, especially in organizations experiencing rapid growth or undergoing significant changes (Oluwaseun & Adedayo, 2023). In Nigerian organizations, where economic and political climates can be volatile, effective leadership succession planning is essential for maintaining stability and long-term success.
UBA Plc, one of the largest and most reputable banks in Nigeria, has a presence in Jigawa State, where it plays an important role in both the local economy and the banking sector. While UBA has instituted succession planning frameworks, there is a need to examine the impact of these initiatives on business continuity, particularly in the face of potential leadership changes. This study will explore how UBA’s succession planning influences organizational stability, employee confidence, and operational efficiency.
