The objectives, research questions, hypotheses, review of relevant literature and applicable theories are fully discussed. The study adopts the use of secondary data from 10 manufacturing firms listed on the Nigeria stock exchange for five years (2006-2016). Relevant data were extracted from the published financial reports, CBN bulletin, and National bureau of statistics corporate website. The Ex-post facto research method is adopted for the purpose of achieving the objectives of the study. Panel data is applied to the study for the purpose of capturing the space and time dimensions.
