| dc.description.abstract | Despite the documented mixed impact of corporate governance on firms’ financial and non financial objectives, a considerable body of empirical findings, across sectors and countries, still indicate that corporate governance impacts the achievement of the firms’ objectives. Yet, there seems to be a limited insights about how corporate governance mechanisms facilitate the achievement of the firms’ objectives. Therefore, this study explores how corporate governance facilitate the achievement of the objectives of the contributory pension scheme in Nigeria. Nine in depth, one-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with managers and assistant managers of contributory pension scheme operators in Nigerian. From the thematic analysis of the interview transcripts, emergent themes revealed that corporate governance codes issued by the National Pension Commission have facilitated the achievement of the contributory pension scheme objectives by enforcing responsibility, protection of fund, competence, and due diligence among the contributory pension scheme operators. Thus, the study recommended that the National Pension Commission should constantly keep improving the corporate governance mechanisms of the Nigerian contributory pension industry to ensure the operators render proper stewardship on the pension funds in their care in the interest of various stakeholders. | en_US |
