Series: Routledge Studies on Law in Africa

This book provides a critical analysis of the enforcement regime for breach of directors’ duties in sub-Saharan Africa. Focusing on Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and Tanzania, it interrogates the current ‘state of play’ regarding the enforcement of directors’ duties in sub-Saharan African countries.

The book examines the effectiveness of enforcement, the reasons for its successes or failures and how it might be improved in these countries. Finally, taking into consideration the specific socio-cultural context of the countries in question, it offers persuasive and practical avenues for reform.

This book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners of comparative corporate law and corporate governance in Africa.
