Introducing Our Latest Publication: Reflections on Corporate Governance
By Professor Fabian Ajogwu, SAN
In today’s fast-paced and ever-changing business environment, the importance of strong corporate governance cannot be overstated. The modern corporate landscape is marked by volatility, complexity, and heightened stakeholder expectations. Against this backdrop, we are proud to present Reflections on Corporate Governance, a timely and authoritative book by Professor Fabian Ajogwu, SAN.
This compelling work explores the evolving dynamics of corporate governance in Nigeria, offering readers a rich tapestry of insights drawn from the author’s distinguished career spanning academia, legal practice, and boardroom leadership. As the expectations of companies grow to include not just financial performance but also social responsibility, ethical leadership, and environmental stewardship, this book provides a vital compass for navigating these expanding demands.
Reflections on Corporate Governance goes beyond abstract theory. Each chapter offers a nuanced discourse on the real-world application of governance principles. From examining boardroom dynamics and shareholder activism to unpacking the roles of advisory boards and the chairman of the board, the book provides practical guidance and thought leadership for those who are shaping the future of corporate Nigeria.
A key strength of this book is its grounded yet forward-looking perspective. It does not simply restate best practices but interrogates them, adapting and refining them to suit Nigeria’s unique corporate context. It also embraces the shift from shareholder primacy to a broader stakeholder-focused approach, integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations into the governance framework.
As captured in the foreword by Sola David-Borha, Chairman of Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc, this book is “a must-read for anyone involved in the governance, management, or oversight of organisations.” It provides not just information, but transformation—equipping readers with the mindset, knowledge, and tools to elevate their organisations through principled leadership and responsible governance.
Whether you are a board member, executive, professional, academic, policy maker, or student, Reflections on Corporate Governance will deepen your understanding of governance principles and challenge you to reflect on their practical implementation in your sphere of influence. It is also highly relevant to the public sector, where good governance is crucial for institutional credibility and national development.
As we collectively strive toward more ethical, sustainable, and effective organisations, Reflections on Corporate Governance offers a beacon of clarity and conviction. It is more than a book—it is a call to action.
