Abstract
The board of directors remains an important corporate governance mechanism through which the shareholders can exercise control over the activities of the firm, monitor and exercise oversight over the top executives and managers. In order to achieve this objective, the board of directors must be independent. This paper provides evidence using data from Nigeria on the degree of independence of the boards of directors of listed firms.
