O. Abstract: This chapter appraises the basis and modes for deregulation of key sectors of the Nigerian economy and situates them in the emerging corporate governance frameworks prompted by inevitable domestic and global realities. It upholds the symbiosis of deregulation and privatisation of corporate entities but concludes in favour of formal governance of the corporate bodies in the deregulated and privatised industries. It also urges best practices on the contents of our corporate governance regulations and practices. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z ir.bowen.edu.ng:8181/jspui/handle/123456789/1817 Title: The role of law in financing the Nigerian informal sector Authors: Oladele, O. O. Abstract: Nigeria has a population of over 100 million and the second largest economy in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, it largely is a primary producer. Agriculture accounts for about 40 percent of the GNP, while manufacturing is just 10 per cent. Two-thirds of the work force is employed in manual and subsistent agriculture. An uncertain but considerable number do petty trading. Most of these do not have access to the formal financial market credit because of factors which include the perceived risk of the venture, unaffordable transaction cost, their inability to secure that credit, as well as problems associated with loan recovery. 1999-01-01T00:00:00Z ir.bowen.edu.ng:8181/jspui/handle/123456789/1750 Title: “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Control, Environmental Taxation, and the Carbon Tax Option” in J.A.M.

Using a holistic approach, the study established that Nigerian leaders have consistently disregarded the principles of rule of law and good governance, violating the ideal democratic values and institutions which undermine the country’s sustainable development. Over long years of military rule, governance has been badly and negatively impacted because observance of rule of law and democratic tenets are not in consonance with military ethics and rule. Civilian regimes have not fared better. The process leading to non-sustainable develop ment and underdevelopment are mostly accompanied by the subversion of due process, the manipulation of existing laws and regulations to suit parochial interests. The chapter concluded that for sustainable development to take effect, there is need for re-orientation of political leaders towards adherence to the principle of rule of law and good governance as the foundation for sustainable development in Nigeria 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z
