Book Review Symposium VI: Corporate Governance in Africa, (Routledge 2025) - Remodelling Corporate Governance in Africa’s Banking Sector – A Fresh Perspective

The Anglo-Saxon corporate governance model practised by most African countries traditionally seeks to protect only the shareholders as the residual owners of an enterprise. (Ngwu, Osuji and Stephen, 2017). The engagement and protection of the interests of various other stakeholders have become an important corporate governance discourse in academia as well as in practice. Given the complexity of the African business environment, the importance of effective stakeholder management cannot be overemphasised and has been a topical issue in recent times. Dr Victor Ediagbonya’s book “Corporate Governance in Africa” presents a transformative exposition of stakeholder management issues in Africa’s banking sector with key references to Nigeria and South Africa.
