Background of the Study
Stakeholder engagement is a critical aspect of corporate governance, ensuring that organizations address the interests and concerns of diverse groups, including shareholders, employees, customers, and regulatory bodies. Effective engagement strategies foster transparency, build trust, and enhance decision-making processes (Okafor & Adamu, 2023).
