Corporate Governance
- Planet Governance Advisory Limited (“Planet Governance”) is a member of the Planet Capital Group.
- Two factors led to the formation of Planet Governance:
- First, is the Nigerian Code of Corporate Governance 2018, issued by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN), as Merger & Acquisition Governance Stakeholder Management Advisorywell as other sector-specific governance codes issued by industry regulators, requiring publicly-quoted companies and industry operators to comply with the requirements of relevant governance codes, with the objectives to boost market confidence, ensure a table and sound corporate environment in Nigeria, and to support the country’s sustainable economic growth and development.
- Second, in the course of our corporate finance advisory transactions, we found that a strong corporate governance framework is a prerequisite for a successful capital raise exercise. Indeed, there is a superior value in the combined treatment of corporate finance and corporate governance practices.
- Accordingly, in 2018, we established Planet Governance, as a standalone Company in the Group to:
- Enhance overall efficiency in the delivery of our investment banking services
- assist our clients in complying with the relevant Codes and ensuring business efficiency
- support stakeholder value maximization, and promote the economic growth and development of the country as a whole.
