Background of the Study
Corporate restructuring involves significant changes to a company's operations, financial structure, or ownership to improve performance or address challenges. In Nigeria, firms like Oando Plc have undertaken restructuring initiatives to adapt to market dynamics, reduce debt, and enhance profitability (Adedayo, 2023).
Oando Plc, a leading oil and gas company, has faced financial and operational challenges, including fluctuating oil prices and regulatory pressures. Its restructuring efforts, which include asset divestitures, debt refinancing, and operational streamlining, provide a case study for analyzing the financial impact of such initiatives.
Statement of the Problem
Corporate restructuring is often implemented to address financial distress, improve performance, or adapt to industry changes. However, its success depends on execution and external factors. For Oando Plc, restructuring has been essential to navigating industry challenges, but questions remain about its long-term financial benefits (Ezeani, 2024).
Limited research focuses on the specific financial impacts of restructuring on Oando Plc, creating a need for comprehensive analysis to evaluate whether the company’s strategies have yielded desired results.
