Abstract
The first article in this issue traces the history of corporate governance in Nigeria. The article Nurturing Corporate Governance System: The Emerging Trends in Nigeria was written by Benjamin James Inyang from the University of Calabar in Nigeria and begins by noting the paucity of literature on this subject. The article describes how mainstream issues of corporate governance in Nigeria emerged with the enactment of the Companies and Allied Matters Act of 1990 that established the Corporate Affairs Commission, charging it with the responsibility of overseeing the regulation and supervision of the formation, incorporation, registration, management and winding up of companies. The article goes on to point our challenges that still need to be addressed.
