The Effects of Mergers and Acquisition on Corporate Growth and Profitability
GLOBAL JOURNAL OF BUSINESS RESEARCH ♦ VOLUME 7 ♦ NUMBER 1 ♦ 2013 THE EFFECTS OF MERGERS AND ACQUISITION ON CORPORATE GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY: EVIDENCE FROM NIGERIA Sylvester Feyi Akinbuli, University of Lagos, Distance Learning Institute Ikechukwu Kelilume, Lagos Business School ABSTRACT It is a widely held view that a strategic solution to financial distress in corporate organizations is mergers and acquisitions. This view remains a presumption, which has not been empirically tested through a research study. Corporate organizations facing difficulty have in recent times often followed or are compelled by regulators to follow the path of extensive reconstruction through mergers and acquisitions, apparently as the only option to liquidation. This paper fills a gap in the literature by investigating the effects of mergers and acquisitions on the efficiency, growth and profitability of corporate organizations in the post consolidated environment of the Nigerian banking industry. The methodology used is a survey of companies incorporated in Nigeria under the Companies and Allied Matters Act [1990], which have undergone a merger or an acquisition process. The elements of the survey were selected randomly. A total of ten incorporated banks were selected using simple random sampling technique. The collected data were analyzed using key financial ratios. The results support the idea that mergers and acquisitions are not a prima facie solution to the problem of financial distress in corporate organizations. This is especially so when mergers are regulatory imposed than business environment driven. The study further revealed that while mergers and acquisitions can drive growth and profitability in some organizations, operating efficiency suffers at least in the short-term in the post merger and acquisition corporate entity. -

It is argued that ethnicity is not necessarily incompatible with nationalism and nation-building. Ethnicity and nationalism both play a role in nation-state formation. They are each functional to political stability and, therefore, to civil peace and to the ability of individual Nigerians to pursue their non-political goals. Ethnicity is functional to political stability because it provides the basis for political socialization and for popular allegiance to political actors. It provides the framework within which patronage is institutionalized and related to traditional forms of welfare within a state which is itself unable to provide such benefits to its subjects. -

Wedlock with Corruption: Can Death Put Them Asunder?
Uluslararası Sosyal Aratırmalar Dergisi The Journal of International Social Research Volume: 3 Issue: 12 Summer 2010 NIGERIA’S (UNHOLY) WEDLOCK WITH CORRUPTION: CAN DEATH PUT THEM ASUNDER? • Femi ADEGBULU Abstract Corruption as it is, it has been argued, is more evil than what it amounts to, and more hydra-headed than ordinary legislation could cope with. It has pervaded every sector of the Nigerian life. Law enforcement agents and agencies take bribes brazenly, but this seems to be the least form of corruption. 419 has gone digital and it surfaces in every area of human interest. More and more billionaires emerge from people who, previously had been without any visible means of livelihood. Institutions of learning are not spared of this cankerworm as unwholesome practices hitherto alien to the ivory tower are now common place. The courts are no longer the last hope of the common man, but the bastion of corruption, greed and avarice as judges award justice to the highest bidder. The hoi-polloi have been eclipsed and cowed into hapless complacency. What should be done to rescue the soul of Nigeria from this perilous path? This paper intends to examine when and how corruption became a state-craft. The paper observes that since the entrenchment and institutionalization of corruption by the IBB administration, successive governments have only taken a cue from this lootocratic culture. While the paper acknowledges the efforts of the Obasanjo-led civilian administration to tackle corruption, the efforts fell short of steering the ship of state to a safety shore of accountability as they were marred by selective justice. -
Petro-Violence and the Geography of Conflict in Nigeria's
Spaces of Insurgency: Petro-Violence and the Geography of Conflict in Nigeria’s Niger Delta By Elias Edise Courson A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Michael J. Watts, Chair Professor Ugo G. Nwokeji Professor Jake G. Kosek Spring 2016 Spaces of Insurgency: Petro-Violence and the Geography of Conflict in Nigeria’s Niger Delta © 2016 Elias Edise Courson Abstract Spaces of Insurgency: Petro-Violence and the Geography of Conflict in Nigeria’s Niger Delta by Elias Edise Courson Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael J. Watts, Chair This work challenges the widely held controversial “greed and grievance” (resource curse) narrative by drawing critical insights about conflicts in the Niger Delta. The Niger Delta region of Nigeria has attracted substantial scholarly attention in view of the paradox of poverty and violence amidst abundant natural resources. This discourse suggests that persistent resource- induced conflicts in the region derive from either greed or grievance. Instead, the present work draws inspiration from the political geography of the Niger Delta, and puts the physical area at the center of its analysis. The understanding that the past and present history of a people is etched in their socio-political geography inspires this focus. Whereas existing literatures engages with the Niger Delta as a monolithic domain, my study takes a more nuanced approach, which recognizes a multiplicity of layers mostly defined by socio-geographical peculiarities of different parts of the region and specificity of conflicts its people experience. -

ABSTRACT DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE ANUCHA, DOMINIC U M.A. FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON UNIVERSITY, 1972 LL.B. LONDON UNIVERSITY, 1966 THE IMPACT OF CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLIES (1978-1995) ON NIGERIAN CONSTITUTIONS AND POLITICAL EVOLUTION Advisor: Dr. Hashim Gibrill Dissertation dated July 2010 This dissertation addresses the issues of crafting a constitution for Nigeria that would meet the criteria of being visible, sustainable, and durable for national political unity, social and economic development. Specifically, it focuses on the years 1978 — 1995 during which several high profile systematic, constitution crafting exercises were undertaken. These included the establishment of a Constitution Drafting Committee to craft a constitution, and a Constituent Assembly. Ultimately, these exercises have proven to be only partially successful. The goal of producing an endurable constitutional framework for Nigerian politics remains elusive. The two core questions pursued in this dissertation focus on: Why did the military pursue these constitution crafting activities? What are the pressing political issues that the constitutional framework will have to manage? The dissertation pursued these issues through surveys, interviews, a review of government documents and reports, participant observation, and a review of existing literature regarding constitution development, federalism and Nigerian history and politics. Key research findings uncovered pressing political concerns ranging across ethnic fears, gender and youth concern, institutional restructuring and economic subordination. Our findings also related to the elite background of participants in these constitutional exercises, and the intrusion of religion, class, and geographical interests into the deliberations of the assemblies. The continued violation of constitutional provisions by the military was highlighted. The widespread call for a Sovereign National Constitutional Conference to shape a new popular constitution for the country was also a prominent concern. -

Measuring the Connectedness of the Nigerian Banking System
C3 Measuring the Connectedness of the Nigerian Banking System Victor A. Malaolu1; Jonathan E. Ogbuabor2; Prof. Hyacinth Ichoku3 1DFID Partnership To Engage, Reform and Learn (PERL), Abuja Nigeria ([email protected]; +2348033727965) 2Department of Economics, University of Nigeria, Nsukka ([email protected]; +2348035077722) 3Department of Economics, University of Nigeria, Nsukka ([email protected]; +2348057028180) Work in Progress Submitted to African Economic Research Consortium May 2020 1 Abstract One of the greatest challenges presently facing the Nigerian banking system is how to manage systemic risk. This is because every episode of bank failure in Nigeria usually involves many banks collapsing simultaneously, suggesting that the Nigerian banking system may be deeply interconnected so that financial contagion becomes an important issue in managing the system. Thus, this study investigates the connectedness of the Nigerian banking system based on the spillover approach of Diebold and Yilmaz (2009). The study extended the empirical approach by constructing generalized connectedness measures at various degrees of aggregation. The results show that: (i) the banking system in Nigeria is deeply interconnected with a mean total connectedness index of 84% over the full sample; (ii) First Bank of Nigeria Plc, Access Bank Plc, Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, United Bank for Africa Plc and Zenith Bank Plc exert dominant influence on the system and therefore have the potential to propagate systemic risks; (iii) Wema Bank Plc, Unity Bank
