Background of the Study
Corporate governance refers to the structures and processes by which organizations are directed and controlled. Effective corporate governance enhances accountability, transparency, and investor confidence (Ogunleye & Bello, 2024).
In the banking sector, strong corporate governance is crucial for financial stability and compliance with regulatory frameworks. Fidelity Bank, like other financial institutions, must adhere to governance standards to ensure operational integrity. However, issues such as board inefficiency, regulatory non-compliance, and financial mismanagement often pose governance challenges (Adegbite & Salisu, 2023).
This study critically reviews corporate governance structures in Fidelity Bank, Yobe State, and assesses their effectiveness in promoting accountability and financial sustainability.
