Background of the Study
Corporate governance reforms in Nigeria’s financial sector have been a critical focus for policymakers and regulators, especially following the banking crisis of the early 2000s and the global financial crisis of 2008. These reforms aim to promote accountability, transparency, and stakeholder confidence. Key initiatives, such as the 2011 Code of Corporate Governance for Banks and the Financial Reporting Council's National Code of Corporate Governance (2018), have provided a framework for governance practices within the financial sector (Oluwatosin & Bello, 2023).
In Nasarawa State, the financial sector is characterized by microfinance institutions, commercial banks, and other non-bank financial institutions. These organizations play a pivotal role in economic growth by providing credit, fostering entrepreneurship, and promoting financial inclusion. However, governance challenges such as board inefficiency, poor risk management, and regulatory non-compliance continue to impede progress.
Statement of the Problem
Despite significant reforms in corporate governance, financial institutions in Nasarawa State face recurring issues, including unethical practices, poor regulatory adherence, and board mismanagement. These issues raise concerns about the effectiveness of governance reforms in fostering stability and sustainability (Eze & Adekunle, 2024). Additionally, limited empirical studies have focused on the localized impact of these reforms, leaving a knowledge gap on their effectiveness in Nasarawa State's financial sector.
