There’s a quiet revolution happening in Nigeria’s corporate sphere and Dr. Kayode Akinsola is among those helping shape the conversation with precision, clarity, and urgency.
His two recent publications, Corporate Governance in Nigeria: An Overview and Compliance with Nigerian Regulatory Agencies: A Guide by Dr. Kayode Akinsola—are not just books. They’re strategic interventions in a system long overdue for reform.
Corporate Governance in Nigeria: An Overview is an unflinching look at the systemic gaps that have plagued Nigeria’s corporate culture for decades. From boardroom politics to the mistreatment of stakeholders, Akinsola traces the consequences of a lack of structure and accountability. But he doesn’t just critique—he contextualizes. By revisiting the historical evolution of governance codes in Nigeria, he creates a roadmap for the future.
In Compliance with Nigeria Regulatory Agencies: A Guide, the conversation moves from governance theory to day-to-day operational realities. Here, Akinsola becomes part educator, part strategist. He translates regulatory requirements into digestible guidance for businesses, making a strong case for proactive compliance over reactive damage control. It’s a wake-up call to business leaders still caught up in outdated mindsets.
At a time when both local and international investors are demanding higher standards, Akinsola’s work is both timely and essential. He’s not merely reflecting the corporate shifts happening in Nigeria—he’s helping define them.
